Code for Reverse Geocoding , you can pass the lattitude and longitude according to your requirement......
public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
static final LatLng DELHI = new LatLng(39.6985207, -104.8954315);
GoogleMap map;
Button btn_geo;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.activitymain);
map = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
btn_geo=(Button)findViewById(R.id.btn_getAddress);
map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(DELHI).icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher)));
// Move the camera instantly to hamburg with a zoom of 15.
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(DELHI, 15));
// Zoom in, animating the camera.
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(10), 2000, null);
btn_geo.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Geocoder myLocation = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());
try {
if(myLocation.isPresent())

I'm working on GPS based application that gets the address based on GPS provider but sometimes it doesn't work due to lack of signal like as at underground parking or similar places. So in such situtation i want to take the address through Network provider and send SMS via sendSMS() method. It has to repeat every 10 mints and call the sendSMS() method with updated Location.
The code for getting GPS location is below could you please suggest me to edit it according to my need?
public class WPGActivity extends Activity {
ImageButton start;
Button login;
String ADDRESS, LOCATION;
TextView addressText, locationText;
Location currentLocation;
double currentLatitude;
double currentLongitude;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
start=(ImageButton)findViewById(R.id.imageButton1);
login=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button1);
addressText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.addressText);
locationText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.locationText);
myLocation();
// if(ACTIVE_MODE==1) startApp();
start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
getAddress(); // to get address
sendSMS(); // to send sms
sendEmail(); // to send email
}
});
}
public void myLocation(){
LocationManager locationManager =
(LocationManager)this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
updateLocation(location);
}
public void onStatusChanged(
String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {}
};
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 1000*60*5, 30, locationListener);
}
public void getAddress(){
try{
Geocoder gcd = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses =
gcd.getFromLocation(currentLatitude, currentLongitude,100);
if (addresses.size() > 0) {
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
for(int i = 0; i < addresses.size(); i++){
Address address = addresses.get(i);
int maxIndex = address.getMaxAddressLineIndex();
for (int x = 0; x <= maxIndex; x++ ){
result.append(address.getAddressLine(x));
result.append(",");
}
result.append(address.getLocality());
result.append(",");
result.append(address.getPostalCode());
result.append("\n\n");
}
ADDRESS = result.toString();
addressText.setText(ADDRESS);
}
}
catch(IOException ex){
ADDRESS= ex.getMessage().toString();
addressText.setText(ADDRESS);
}
}
void updateLocation(Location location){
currentLocation = location;
currentLatitude = currentLocation.getLatitude();
currentLongitude = currentLocation.getLongitude();
locationText.setText(LOCATION);
}
}
I want to get the current location with name. I did coding for get current location (lat,lang), how can I show the relative place name?
(ie) 13.006389 - 80.2575 : Adyar,Chennai,India
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 0, 0, new LocationListener() {
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
// called when the location provider status changes. Possible status: OUT_OF_SERVICE, TEMPORARILY_UNAVAILABLE or AVAILABLE.
}
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
// called when the location provider is enabled by the user
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
// called when the location provider is disabled by the user. If it is already disabled, it's called immediately after requestLocationUpdates
}
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
double latitute = location.getLatitude();
double longitude = location.getLongitude();
// do whatever you want with the coordinates
}
});
This will convert the lat & lng into String Address and i have set it in the text field for your example. This is done by using the concept of Reverse Geocoding & there is a class called Geocoder in Android.
// Write the location name.
//
try {
Geocoder geo = new Geocoder(this.getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses = geo.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
if (addresses.isEmpty()) {
yourtextboxname.setText("Waiting for Location");
}
else {
yourtextboxname.setText(addresses.get(0).getFeatureName() + ", " + addresses.get(0).getLocality() +", " + addresses.get(0).getAdminArea() + ", " + addresses.get(0).getCountryName());
}
}

Use reverse geocoding,feed the latitude and longitude and get the address.
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.ENGLISH);
try {
List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, 1);
if(addresses != null) {
Address returnedAddress = addresses.get(0);
StringBuilder strReturnedAddress = new StringBuilder("Address:\n");
for(int i=0; i<returnedAddress.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++) {
strReturnedAddress.append(returnedAddress.getAddressLine(i)).append("\n");
}
myAddress.setText(strReturnedAddress.toString());
}
else{
myAddress.setText("No Address returned!");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
myAddress.setText("Canont get Address!");
}
The phrase you're looking for is "Reverse Geocoding". Another question on StackOverflow discusses the same topic- You can use that one's selected answer :)
This is only for Hint add your code !
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

double lng = location.getLongitude();
String currentLocation = "The location is changed to Lat: " + lat + " Lng: " + lng;

I wrote a program to show my current location, Address etc in android phone. The API used is Android 2.2. Previously it worked fine in a MTS CDMA phone. It had an API of Android 2.3. It also works fine in emulator. Now. I have bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia Minipro and it also has Android 2.3. But the program will run on it. But the edit texts will not show anything. I use edit texts to display the values. They are not updated by the program at all. What can be the problem? Same program works fine in emulator and it shows location! Please help. I can paste the code below

you are getting locaton object null,try put log in else condition..and the reason is you are fetching last known location which in not available in that phone some how..
so if its true..
Go to this answer here implement that code to get current location...and it will work fine.
If you are using GPS Provider to get Location,Its found that Its not so accurate to return you location object,Network Provider is better option According to me.
i written following code to get current location. although I m testing it in emulator with different latitude and longitude. But it cant convert the lattitude and longitude in real location.

I am getting problem in this line
List addresses = gc.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);
the statement doesn't return anything.
It's a known bug which they never fixed see service not avavilable.I think you will find that it works in the the API level 7 emulator.
i try to get the current zip code from the longitude and latitude which MyLocationOverlay delivers and set this to a EditView on my Activity.
The Activity crashs when i try to get the longitude and latitude from MyLocationOverlay.
Whats wrong with this code?
Regards,
float
LogCat output: http://codepaste.net/vs6itk
Line 59 is the following line:
double currentLatitude = myLocationOverlay.getMyLocation().getLatitudeE6();
Here is my Code:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.partner_suche);
final EditText tView = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editTextPLZ);

mView.getController().setZoom(14);
List<Overlay> mapOverlays = mView.getOverlays();
myLocationOverlay = new MyCustomLocationOverlay(this, mView);
mapOverlays.add(myLocationOverlay);
myLocationOverlay.enableMyLocation();
myLocationOverlay.enableCompass();
myLocationOverlay.runOnFirstFix(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
mView.getController().animateTo(myLocationOverlay.getMyLocation());
}
});

EDIT:
I created a LocationListener to get my current location. Now the part crashes where i try to run gc.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1); I can't read the Exception? :/

If you are using an emulator API level 8 or 9, and getting the exception:
java.io.IOException: Service not Available
then it is a known bug, see service not available
It works OK on real devices and emulator level 7 though. ( You should probably put a trap on addresses being null too, though this won't make the geocoder work!)
Most likely the location being returned from
myLocationOverlay.getMyLocation()
or
Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
is NULL. Likely due to your application not yet having received a location fix, and having no previously saved locations.
Try moving the code block where you do the geocoding into your runnable that runs after receiving a fix. Like this:
myLocationOverlay.runOnFirstFix(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Location loc = myLocationOverlay.getMyLocation();
if (loc != null) {
