I need to know is there any API ,from where i can receive the Address of the current place.Using location Manager i have receive the latitude and longitude of the current place ,but i need the address.
I have tried the below api.
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng="+ lat + "," + lon + &sensor=true"
But it is not showing the exact place .Can somebody help me.@Thanks
From a Geocoder object, you can call the getFromLocation(double, double, int) method.
like :-
private String getAddress(double latitude, double longitude) {
StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();
try {
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
if (addresses.size() > 0) {
Address address = addresses.get(0);
result.append(address.getLocality()).append("\n");
result.append(address.getCountryName());
}
} catch (IOException e) {
Log.e("tag", e.getMessage());
}
return result.toString();
}
Another best answer is here How to get city name from latitude and longitude coordinates in Google Maps?
I have created a class for getting address for a particular Lat, Long. You can use this :
public class getReverseGeoCoding {
private String Address1 = "", Address2 = "", City = "", State = "", Country = "", County = "", PIN = "";
public void getAddress() {
Address1 = "";
Address2 = "";
City = "";
State = "";
Country = "";
County = "";
PIN = "";
try {
JSONObject jsonObj = parser_Json.getJSONfromURL("http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=" + Global.curLatitude + ","
+ Global.curLongitude + "&sensor=true");
String Status = jsonObj.getString("status");
if (Status.equalsIgnoreCase("OK")) {
JSONArray Results = jsonObj.getJSONArray("results");
JSONObject zero = Results.getJSONObject(0);
JSONArray address_components = zero.getJSONArray("address_components");
for (int i = 0; i < address_components.length(); i++) {
JSONObject zero2 = address_components.getJSONObject(i);
String long_name = zero2.getString("long_name");
JSONArray mtypes = zero2.getJSONArray("types");
String Type = mtypes.getString(0);
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(long_name) == false || !long_name.equals(null) || long_name.length() > 0 || long_name != "") {
if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("street_number")) {
Address1 = long_name + " ";
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("route")) {
Address1 = Address1 + long_name;
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("sublocality")) {
Address2 = long_name;
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("locality")) {
// Address2 = Address2 + long_name + ", ";
City = long_name;
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("administrative_area_level_2")) {
County = long_name;
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("administrative_area_level_1")) {
State = long_name;
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("country")) {
Country = long_name;
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("postal_code")) {
PIN = long_name;
}
}
// JSONArray mtypes = zero2.getJSONArray("types");
// String Type = mtypes.getString(0);
// Log.e(Type,long_name);
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public String getAddress1() {
return Address1;
}
public String getAddress2() {
return Address2;
}
public String getCity() {
return City;
}
public String getState() {
return State;
}
public String getCountry() {
return Country;
}
public String getCounty() {
return County;
}
public String getPIN() {
return PIN;
}
}

I have tried to modify the class given by Vipul Purohit answer to make it better

so many gave so many answer but all missed out the most crucial part.Below is how i achieved this: You need an API Key. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/signup Just take time patiently go through the code.I used the inner class in fragment. code:-

googleMap.setOnMapClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener() {

});
Try this: https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=latitude,longitude and give latitude and longitude
