Answer 1

In onCreate()..

LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
    locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 30000, 0, this);
    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
    String bestProvider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
    Location location = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(bestProvider);

    if (location == null) {
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "GPS signal not found",
                3000).show();
    }
    if (location != null) {
        Log.e("location", "location--" + location);
        Log.e("latitude at beginning",
                "@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@" + location.getLatitude());
        onLocationChanged(location);
    }

Write the code in onLocationChanged()

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

    Geocoder geocoder;
    List<Address> addresses;
    geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());

    latitude = location.getLatitude();
    longitude = location.getLongitude();

    Log.e("latitude", "latitude--" + latitude);

    try {
        Log.e("latitude", "inside latitude--" + latitude);
        addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);

        if (addresses != null && addresses.size() > 0) {
            String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0); 
            String city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
            String state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
            String country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
            String postalCode = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();
            String knownName = addresses.get(0).getFeatureName(); 

            locationTxt.setText(address + " " + city + " " + country);
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Use this it work for me :D

Retrieve json data of the latitude and longitude.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?key=AIzaSyAr29XeWWAeWZcrOgjjfs3iSnqkWtAz4No&latlng=2.1812,102.4266&sensor=true

Change latitude , longitude with your own place.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?key=<\API_KEY_HERE>&latlng="latitude","longitude"&sensor=true

You can change the <\API_KEY_HERE> with your own key.

Need to enable api service in google console for new api key.

Hope it helps :D

public String getAddress(LatLng latLng) {
    String cAddress = "";
    if (latLng == null) {
        errorMessage = "no_location_data_provided";
        Log.wtf(TAG, errorMessage);
        return "";
    }
    Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());

    // Address found using the Geocoder.
    List<Address> addresses = null;

    try {
        // Using getFromLocation() returns an array of Addresses for the area immediately
        // surrounding the given latitude and longitude. The results are a best guess and are
        // not guaranteed to be accurate.
        addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(
                latLng.latitude,
                latLng.longitude,
                // In this sample, we get just a single address.
                1);
    } catch (IOException ioException) {
        // Catch network or other I/O problems.
        errorMessage = "service_not_available";
        Log.e(TAG, errorMessage, ioException);
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException illegalArgumentException) {
        // Catch invalid latitude or longitude values.
        errorMessage = "invalid_lat_long_used";
        Log.e(TAG, errorMessage + ". " +
                "Latitude = " + latLng.latitude +
                ", Longitude = " + latLng.longitude, illegalArgumentException);
    }

    // Handle case where no address was found.
    if (addresses == null || addresses.size() == 0) {
        if (errorMessage.isEmpty()) {
            errorMessage = "no_address_found";
            Log.e(TAG, errorMessage);
        }
    } else {
        Address address = addresses.get(0);
        ArrayList<String> addressFragments = new ArrayList<String>();
        // Fetch the address lines using {@code getAddressLine},
        // join them, and send them to the thread. The {@link android.location.address}
        // class provides other options for fetching address details that you may prefer
        // to use. Here are some examples:
        // getLocality() ("Mountain View", for example)
        // getAdminArea() ("CA", for example)
        // getPostalCode() ("94043", for example)
        // getCountryCode() ("US", for example)
        // getCountryName() ("United States", for example)
        String allAddress = "";
        for (int i = 0; i < address.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++) {
            addressFragments.add(address.getAddressLine(i));
            allAddress += address.getAddressLine(i) + " ";
        }
        if (address.getAdminArea() != null) {
            state = address.getAdminArea();
        } else {
            state = "";
        }
        if (address.getLocality() != null) {
            city = address.getLocality();
        } else {
            city = "";
        }
        if (address.getPostalCode() != null) {
            postalCode = address.getPostalCode();
        } else {
            postalCode = "";
        }

        Log.i(TAG, "address_found");
        //driverAddress = TextUtils.join(System.getProperty("line.separator"), addressFragments);
        cAddress = allAddress;
        Log.e("result", cAddress.toString());
    }
    return cAddress;
}

You Can use this method for geocoding proper complete Address

Answer 4

  public static String getAddressFromLatLng(Context context, LatLng latLng) {
    Geocoder geocoder;
    List<Address> addresses;
    geocoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
    try {
        addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latLng.latitude, latLng.longitude, 1);
        return addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return "";
    }
}

Answer 5

City & Country are not Always getting in address Line 1 & Line 2...

Example is here

So,

Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());

List<Address> addresses  = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude,longitude, 1);
String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
String city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
String state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
String zip = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();
String country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();

Answer 6

You are looking for the term Geocoding.

The short story is you need to do:

Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);

To do more you should read up on the Geocoder here.
