Hi Michael,

I'm also currently trying to get my android dev setup working again (for
the OCM app). Not easy especially as they have now retired eclipse and
moved to the new gradle build system in Android Studio, so there's lots
of trial and error required to get things building again.

The API prefix is also wrong in both cases, it should be:
http://api.openchargemap.io/v2/referencedata/ (for pulling the reference
data for dropdown lists etc)

And the POI query should really be of the form:
http://api.openchargemap.io/v2/poi/?output=json&verbose=false&<filter
params>

Max results filter can be much higher (2500 etc) but will potentially
return more data (and take longer), my own preference would be to
default the search to a smaller distance. API docs are here:
http://openchargemap.org/site/develop/api

It's also wrong on iOS, I did submit a pull request a while back but I
don't think anything happened to it.
