This is difficult to do because of a lack of readily available data accessible from Android, but I think your best bet is to use a crowd-sourced dataset such as <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OpenStreetMap (OSM)</a>. You'd need to set up your own spatial database (e.g., <a href="http://postgis.refractions.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">PostGIS</a>) and import OSM data into the database. OSM standardizes multiple vegetation label types, including: <ul> <li>natural=bare_rock</li> <li>natural=fell</li> <li>natural=glacier</li> <li>landuse=grass</li> <li>natural=grassland</li> <li>natural=heath</li> <li>natural=mud</li> <li>natural=screen</li> <li>natural=sand</li> <li>natural=scrub</li> <li>natural=tree</li> <li>natural=wetland </li> <li>natural=wood.</li> </ul> See the <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Natural#Land_cover" rel="nofollow noreferrer">OSM - Natural - Land Cover wiki page</a> for more detail on OSM labels of vegetation. Then, you'd create a server-side API (hosted in a web server such as <a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgi" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Tomcat</a> or <a href="http://glassfish.java.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Glassfish</a>) to receive the mobile phone's current location, do a <a href="https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/16414/point-in-polygon-algorithm-for-multiple-polygons">spatial query via PostGIS</a> to determine the polygon and natural land cover type (i.e., vegetation) the phone's location lies within, and return the vegetation type to the phone. Another option is to use ESRI shape files instead of OSM data, and load this data into the PostGIS database.

Guidance

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
