geocoder.getFromLocation returning null

Question

my code :

                 try
                {

                            Geocoder geocoder;
                        List<Address> addresses;

            geocoder = new Geocoder(LocationActivity.this, Locale.getDefault());

            addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(longitude,latitude,1);

            Toast.makeText(LocationActivity.this, addresses.size() + "", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

            String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
            String city = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
            String country = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);

            Toast.makeText(LocationActivity.this, address + "  " + city + " " + country, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            Toast.makeText(LocationActivity.this,e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }

this is my code to get address from longitude and latitude. but every time addresses.size returns 0

can anyone help me for this

Solution

I find the solution... hold Ctrl on getFromLocation() and go to Geocoder.class . then download sources for your android API and restart your project. then you see its work

[piyush]

[piyush]

nope.. i m not getting any exception... but addresses size always 0

[piyush]

but i m creating my application in targetsdk 8 (2.2)... now what i have to do ??

[Sandeep P]

Right click on project, go to properties(in the end), select the android at right side , select project-build target (sel max) which contain google, and mention this in manifest <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="15" /> ..... if still it is not working , may be ur device fault

[piyush]

but my device have android 2.2 OS.. if i change target then still i can run this app in android 2.2 ?

[Sandeep P]

yes u can run it, target sdk is not a matter make sure that min sdk is 8 so u can run in 2.2

[Sandeep P]

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="15" />

[piyush]

i change the target to 15 and i tried to other device... still not working... still its give arrayIndexOutofBound Exception..
