geocoder.getFromLocationName returns only null
I had a similar problem and found that polling the Geocoder until i got a result worked. Here is how i did it, so far works great. try { List<Address> geoResults = geocoder.getFromLocationName(“<address goes here>”, 1); while (geoResults.size()==0) { geoResults = geocoder.getFromLocationName(“<address goes here>”, 1); } if (geoResults.size()>0) { Address addr = geoResults.get(0); myLocation.setLatitude(addr.getLatitude()); myLocation.setLongitude(addr.getLongitude()); … Read more
Google Geocoder service is unavaliable (Coordinates to address)
The common answer to this problem is that you have to restart your device. Surely you cannot tell your users to restart device in order for your app to function, so my solution was to use a HTTP fallback, here is the AsyncTask I use in my code. You will have to modify it for … Read more

Latitude Longitude Coordinates to State Code in R
Here are two options, one using sf and one using sp package functions. sf is the more modern (and, here in 2020, recommended) package for analyzing spatial data, but in case it’s still useful, I am leaving my original 2012 answer showing how to do this with sp-related functions. Method 1 (using sf): library(sf) library(spData) … Read more
Why is Android Geocoder throwing a “Service not Available” exception?
I asked Google’s Reto Meier to confirm my theory was correct and he said “Correct. The Geocoder is part of the Google API add-on that isn’t part of the AOSP.” So any device that doesn’t come with the Play Store, GMail apps etc… will also be missing the Geocoder back-end.
Service not available while calling geoCoder.getFromLocation()
The actual reason why Geocoder was not working is because the NetworkLocator was killed in action. Probably due to less memory or maybe you used the Task Manager to kill all services? I’m not sure but this is a guess. I’ve seen this before. Last year I wrote a reconnect mechanism to load the NetworkLocator.apk … Read more
How can I find the latitude and longitude from address?
public GeoPoint getLocationFromAddress(String strAddress) { Geocoder coder = new Geocoder(this); List<Address> address; GeoPoint p1 = null; try { address = coder.getFromLocationName(strAddress, 5); if (address == null) { return null; } Address location = address.get(0); location.getLatitude(); location.getLongitude(); p1 = new GeoPoint((double) (location.getLatitude() * 1E6), (double) (location.getLongitude() * 1E6)); return p1; } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); … Read more
