Hi

I am trying to get the location details by providing the latitude and longitude to the Geocoder class API's . can any one help me with it

Code snippet

locationNames=geocoder.getFromLocation(latitudeDouble,longitudeDouble,1);

I have given the Internt permissions and resolved the proxy settings.

Getting java.io.IOException : Unable to parse response from server

hi sendhilgb,

do you declare:

Geocoder gc = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());

so now you can use:

gc.getFromLocation(latitudeDouble,longitudeDouble,1);

but this sentence return a list with the address , so you need use a list like this:

List<Address> addresses = gc.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);

i hope that information might help you,

best,

I was reading about sometimes isn't possible find the location with the georeference ... do you have some points to test?

thanks,

I'm trying the same code as fbesoain and it is not working. I bought a Android book where this code is printed, but I guess there is something missing to get it to work.

Do anyone know whats wrong?

I'm testing my app on an 1.5 AVD emulator. When i look at the debug log it seems like the code doesn't do the lookup, thus addresses.size() returns 0.
