Get address using Geocoder in android

I tried to get the address of a particular location by giving static geocordinates. I was not able to fetch the address. Can someone please help. I just need to check whether this function works for me.

Here is my snippet.

Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(AddressSimulator.this, Locale.getDefault());
        List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(1.352566007, 103.78921587, 1);
        System.out.println("Addresses size"+addresses.size());

Address size is obtained as zero. I tried with few other geocordinates also, but address size is always returned as 0. Experts开发者_如何转开发, kindly help me resolve this.

Looking forward for your valuable help/suggestions,

Best Regards, Rony

Try the one from google or from rpc geocoder. For google maps you have to get a key from google.

for geocoder they respond for only one request in every 15 sec from the same ip.

string geocoderUri = String.Format("http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q={0},{1},{2}&output=csv"
                + "&key= < Your Key > ", street, city, state);

or

string geocoderUri = string.Format("http://rpc.geocoder.us/service/rest?address={0},{1},{2}", street, city, state);

Try this one. It will provide you the street, area, country name. Also see this doc; here you can find more methods.

try {

            Geocoder geo = new Geocoder(this.getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());
            List<Address> addresses = geo.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
            if (addresses.isEmpty()) {
                addres.setText("Waiting for Location");
            }
            else {
                if (addresses.size() > 0) {
                    addres.setText(addresses.get(0).getFeatureName() + ", " + addresses.get(0).getLocality() +", " + addresses.get(0).getAdminArea() + ", " + addresses.get(0).getCountryName());
                    //Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Address:- " + addresses.get(0).getFeatureName() + addresses.get(0).getAdminArea() + addresses.get(0).getLocality(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }
            }
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace(); // getFromLocation() may sometimes fail
        }

Hope this will help....

Make sure you have the INTERNET security permissions set in your AndroidManifest.xml. You need the INTERNET permission to do the lookup. I know you're doing a static lat,long lookup but if you want to do get lat and long from GPS, you'll also need to add the ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission to enable the GPS.
