Get address from location name, using Geocoder
android.location.Geocoder is a class for handling geocoding and reverse geocoding. Geocoding is the process of transforming a street address or other description of a location into a (latitude, longitude) coordinate. Reverse geocoding is the process of transforming a (latitude, longitude) coordinate into a (partial) address. The amount of detail in a reverse geocoded location description may vary. The Geocoder class requires a backend service that is not included in the core android framework.
The Geocoder query methods will return an empty list if there no backend service in the platform. Use the isPresent() method to determine whether a Geocoder implementation exists.
The method getFromLocationName() returns an array of Addresses that are known to describe the named location.
example:
(Please note that the retrieving of Address Line is in-correct in this code; refer to the next post for how to Get full address from result of getFromLocationName().)
