Answer 1

  GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(
                        (int) (LATITUDE * 1E6),
                        (int) (LONGITUDE * 1E6));

String n;

public void someRandomMethod() {
        n = convertPointToLocation(point);
}



public String convertPointToLocation(GeoPoint point) {
        String address = "";
        Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(
                getBaseContext(), Locale.getDefault());
        try {
            List<Address> addresses = geoCoder.getFromLocation(
                    point.getLatitudeE6()  / 1E6,
                    point.getLongitudeE6() / 1E6, 1);

            if (addresses.size() > 0) {
                for (int index = 0; index < addresses.get(0).getMaxAddressLineIndex(); index++)
                    address += addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(index) + " ";
            }
        }
        catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();

Reboot your device for Geocoder to work. Hope it helps someone
