how to convert longitude and latitude into text format to show street address?

I am developing an app,In this I'm using google map to show users current location.
Following code I am using but it doesn't give the result of street address only shows the current location in map and shows longitude and latitude.How do I show the current street address in text field from current longitude and latitude?
//java

You can use Double.toString() to convert a double to a String. Alternatively, you can use +:
"" + latitude
If you need more control over the output, such as the number of decimal places to display, you can use String.format().

public static void getAddressFromLocation(final double latitude, final double longitude,
final Context context, final Handler handler) {
Thread thread = new Thread() {
#Override
public void run() {
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
String result = null;
try {
List<Address> addressList = geocoder.getFromLocation(
latitude, longitude, 1);
if (addressList != null && addressList.size() > 0) {
Address address = addressList.get(0);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < address.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++) {
sb.append(address.getAddressLine(i)).append("\n");
}
sb.append(address.getLocality()).append("\n");
sb.append(address.getPostalCode()).append("\n");
sb.append(address.getCountryName());
result = sb.toString();
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e(TAG, "Unable connect to Geocoder", e);
} finally {
Message message = Message.obtain();
message.setTarget(handler);
if (result != null) {
message.what = 1;
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
result = "Latitude: " + latitude + " Longitude: " + longitude +
"\n\nAddress:\n" + result;
bundle.putString("address", result);
message.setData(bundle);
} else {
message.what = 1;
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
result = "Latitude: " + latitude + " Longitude: " + longitude +
"\n Unable to get address for this lat-long.";
bundle.putString("address", result);
message.setData(bundle);
}
message.sendToTarget();
}
}
};
thread.start();

....thx in advance...help me friends

In my App I use This code to get Address...!!! This is for your reference.
Geocoder geocoder;

state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
if (zip != null) {
title += zip + ",";
}

// This will put marker and set Address as a marker title
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(arg0).title(title));

});
how to set marker in google map?
MarkerOptions options = new MarkerOptions().position(latLng).title(shortDescStr);
googleMap.addMarker(options);

How to get country name in android?

Hi I am working with android.I had created a GPS app for getting the current location.Now How can I get the country name from the latitude and longitude value ? is it possible ? please help me and thanks :)
here is my code I used
public class AndroidGPSTrackingActivity extends Activity {
Button btnShowLocation;
// GPSTracker class
GPSTracker gps;
String countryCode,countryName;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
btnShowLocation = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnShowLocation);
// show location button click event
btnShowLocation.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
// create class object
gps = new GPSTracker(AndroidGPSTrackingActivity.this);
// check if GPS enabled
if(gps.canGetLocation()){
double latitude = gps.getLatitude();
double longitude = gps.getLongitude();
Log.i("location", " "+latitude+" "+longitude);
// \n is for new line
try
{Geocoder gcd = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses = gcd.getFromLocation(latitude,longitude, 1);
if (addresses.size() > 0)
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "name "+addresses.get(0).getLocality(),Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
//System.out.println(addresses.get(0).getLocality());
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your Location is - \nLat: " + latitude + "\nLong: " + longitude+countryName +" "+countryCode, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}else{
// can't get location
// GPS or Network is not enabled
// Ask user to enable GPS/network in settings
gps.showSettingsAlert();
}
}
});
}
}

String country_name = null;
LocationManager lm = (LocationManager)getApplicationContext().getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext());
for(String provider: lm.getAllProviders()) {
#SuppressWarnings("ResourceType") Location location = lm.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
if(location!=null) {
try {
List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude(), 1);
if(addresses != null && addresses.size() > 0) {
country_name = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
break;
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), country_name, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

Finally I got the solution, without lat and long value, i got country name.
String country = getApplicationContext().getResources().getConfiguration().locale.getDisplayCountry();
.

Use this:
Geocoder myLocation = new Geocoder(AppContext);
try
{
myList = myLocation.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
if(myList != null)
{
try
{
String country = myList.get(0).getCountryName();}

You can Get Country name from below mentioned json. Just pass your lat-long in address. And look for "long_name" which have "country,political" in "types" array.
i.e. http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=23.022505,72.5713621&sensor=false

From a Geocoder object, you can call the getFromLocation(double, double, int) method. It will return a list of Address objects that have a method getLocality().
import android.location.Address;
import android.location.Geocoder;
Geocoder gcd = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses;
try {
addresses = gcd.getFromLocation(1.2, 2.2256, 1);
if (addresses.size() > 0)
System.out.println(addresses.get(0).getLocality());
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}

List<Address> addresses=null;
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
try {
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(loc.latitude, loc.longitude, 1);
System.out.println("add in string "+addresses.toArray().toString());
String countryName = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
String countryCode = addresses.get(0).getCountryCode();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

How to show location name when i have the longitude and latitude?

i am trying to find out the location name from google maps api in android when i have the longitude and latitude of the location. what i want to achieve is, after getting the location name i want to shoot an text message to my friends telling them about my current location. I am not sure if i need to turn on the geocoder service or not.
this is what i have done so far and now i m stuck.
class mylocationlistener implements LocationListener
{
#SuppressLint("NewApi")
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(location != null)
{
Double longi = location.getLongitude();
Double lat = location.getLatitude();
String str = "";
str= "Longitude=" + longi + ", Latitude=" + lat;
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),str,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getBaseContext(), Locale.getDefault());
boolean abc = Geocoder.isPresent();
try {
List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(lat, longi, 1);
if(!addresses.isEmpty())
{
str = addresses.get(0).getLocality() + addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(1)+ addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(2);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),str, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
}

I think you are almost done with it, how I deal with this before is using the following codes:
public static String getAddressStringFromLocation(Context context, Location location) {
GeoPoint gp = new GeoPoint((int) (location.getLatitude() * 1e6),
(int) (location.getLongitude() * 1e6));
return getAddressStringFromGeoPoint(context, gp);
}
public static String getAddressStringFromGeoPoint(Context context, GeoPoint point) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
Address ad = getAddressFromGeoPoint(context, point);
if(ad != null && ad.getMaxAddressLineIndex() > 0) {
for(int i = 0, max = ad.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i < max; i++) {
sb.append(ad.getAddressLine(i));
}
sb.append(ad.getThoroughfare());
return sb.toString();
} else {
return null;
}
}
public static Address getAddressFromGeoPoint(Context context, GeoPoint point){
Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.CHINA);
Address address = null;
try {
List<Address> addresses = geoCoder.getFromLocation(point.getLatitudeE6() / 1E6, point.getLongitudeE6() / 1E6, 1);
address = addresses.get(0);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return address;
}

How to reverse Geocode in google maps api 2 android

I want to do reverse geocoding in my app using map api 2.But i dont know exactly how to do that?Any ideas?

Use Geocoder:
Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(context);
List<Address> matches = geoCoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
Address bestMatch = (matches.isEmpty() ? null : matches.get(0));

This is how it works for me..
MarkerOptions markerOptions;
Location myLocation;
Button btLocInfo;
String selectedLocAddress;
private GoogleMap myMap;
LatLng latLng;
LatLng tmpLatLng;
#Override
public void onMapLongClick(LatLng point) {
// Getting the Latitude and Longitude of the touched location
latLng = point;
// Clears the previously touched position
myMap.clear();
// Animating to the touched position
myMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));
// Creating a marker
markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
// Setting the position for the marker
markerOptions.position(latLng);
// Adding Marker on the touched location with address
new ReverseGeocodingTask(getBaseContext()).execute(latLng);
//tmpLatLng = latLng;
btLocInfo.setEnabled(true);
btLocInfo.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
double[] coordinates={tmpLatLng.latitude/1E6,tmpLatLng.longitude/1E6};
double latitude = tmpLatLng.latitude;
double longitude = tmpLatLng.longitude;
Log.i("selectedCoordinates", latitude + " " + longitude);
Log.i("selectedLocAddress", selectedLocAddress);
}
});
}
private class ReverseGeocodingTask extends AsyncTask<LatLng, Void, String>{
Context mContext;
public ReverseGeocodingTask(Context context){
super();
mContext = context;
}
// Finding address using reverse geocoding
#Override
protected String doInBackground(LatLng... params) {
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(mContext);
double latitude = params[0].latitude;
double longitude = params[0].longitude;
List<Address> addresses = null;
String addressText="";
try {
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude,1);
Thread.sleep(500);
if(addresses != null && addresses.size() > 0 ){
Address address = addresses.get(0);
addressText = String.format("%s, %s, %s",
address.getMaxAddressLineIndex() > 0 ? address.getAddressLine(0) : "",
address.getLocality(),
address.getCountryName());
}
}
catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
selectedLocAddress = addressText;
return addressText;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String addressText) {
// Setting the title for the marker.
// This will be displayed on taping the marker
markerOptions.title(addressText);
// Placing a marker on the touched position
myMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
}
}

You can do like this to get complete address :
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
...
private Geocoder geocoder;
private TextView mAddressTxtVu;
...
// assume that you got latitude and longitude correctly
mLatitude = 20.23232
mLongitude = 32.999
String errorMessage = "";
geocoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses = null;
try {
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(
mlattitude,
mlongitude,
1);
} catch (IOException e) {
errorMessage = getString(R.string.service_not_available);
Log.e(TAG, errorMessage, e);
} catch (IllegalArgumentException illegalArgumentException) {
// Catch invalid latitude or longitude values.
errorMessage = getString(R.string.invalid_lat_long_used);
Log.e(TAG, errorMessage + ". " + "Latitude = " + mlattitude +",
Longitude = " + mlongitude, illegalArgumentException);
}
// Handle case where no address was found.
if (addresses == null || addresses.size() == 0) {
if (errorMessage.isEmpty()) {
errorMessage = getString(R.string.no_address_found);
Log.e(TAG, errorMessage);
}
} else {
Address address = addresses.get(0);
ArrayList<String> addressFragments = new ArrayList<String>();
// Fetch the address lines using getAddressLine,
// join them, and send them to the thread.
for (int i = 0; i <= address.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++) {
addressFragments.add(address.getAddressLine(i));
}
// Log.i(TAG, getString(R.string.address_found));
mAddressTxtVu.setText(TextUtils.join(System.getProperty("line.separator"),
addressFragments));
}
Hope it helps!

You don't need to use Google Maps Api for this purpose. Android SKD have a class for it which you can simply use without any registration of API Key and so on. The class is android.location.Geocoder. It have methods for geocoding and reverse geocoding. I was looking in the source code of this class and found that it have a method android.location.Geocoder#getFromLocationName(java.lang.String, int) where first argument is address, and second is max number of results you want. It returns a List<Address>. The Address class have methods like android.location.Address#getLatitude and android.location.Address#getLongitude. They both return double.
Try it and let me know how good it is :-)
