Get location name from fetched coordinates
android, location
Solution
Here is complete code from fetching long - lat to getting address:
LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(new Criteria(), true);
Location locations = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
List<String> providerList = locationManager.getAllProviders();
if(null!=locations && null!=providerList && providerList.size()>0){
double longitude = locations.getLongitude();
double latitude = locations.getLatitude();
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());
try {
List<Address> listAddresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
if(null!=listAddresses&&listAddresses.size()>0){
String _Location = listAddresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Problem
