Answer 1

You can do like this to get complete address from latitude and longitude :

  public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

         ...

  private Geocoder geocoder;
  private TextView mAddressTxtVu;

         ...


  // I 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));
                    }

Answer 2

There is a last trick to get Address from Lat-Long (Geo-coordinates). You can simply hit google-maps web service passing the Latitude and longitude. It is simply a GET-Method web-service.

It will return the JSON Response that can be parsed easily to get address. The URL for this is:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=32,75&sensor=true

You can replace 32,75 with lat,long.

Just Use this method and pass your lat, long.

public static void getAddress(Context context, double LATITUDE, double LONGITUDE{
    //Set Address
    try {
        Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
        List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, 1);

        if (addresses != null && addresses.size() > 0) {
            String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0); // If any additional address line present than only, check with max available address lines by getMaxAddressLineIndex()
            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(); // Only if available else return NULL
            Log.d(TAG, "getAddress:  address" + address);
            Log.d(TAG, "getAddress:  city" + city);
            Log.d(TAG, "getAddress:  state" + state);
            Log.d(TAG, "getAddress:  postalCode" + postalCode);
            Log.d(TAG, "getAddress:  knownName" + knownName);
        }

    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return;
}
