Geocoding and Reverse Geocoding Example in Android

1. Add Permissions in AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

2. Java Code for MainActivity.java

import android.location.Address;

import android.location.Geocoder;

import android.os.Bundle;

import android.widget.TextView;

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import java.io.IOException;

import java.util.List;

import java.util.Locale;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

TextView textView;

Geocoder geocoder;

@Override

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

textView = findViewById(R.id.textView);

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

// Geocoding: Get coordinates from address


Geocoding and Reverse Geocoding Example in Android

String locationName = "New York, USA";

try {

List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocationName(locationName, 1);

if (addresses != null && !addresses.isEmpty()) {

double lat = addresses.get(0).getLatitude();

double lon = addresses.get(0).getLongitude();

textView.setText("Geocoding:\nLat: " + lat + "\nLon: " + lon);

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

// Reverse Geocoding: Get address from coordinates

double latitude = 40.7128;

double longitude = -74.0060;

try {

List<Address> revAddresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);

if (revAddresses != null && !revAddresses.isEmpty()) {

String address = revAddresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);

textView.append("\n\nReverse Geocoding:\n" + address);

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

3. Layout File (activity_main.xml)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
Geocoding and Reverse Geocoding Example in Android

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:orientation="vertical"

android:padding="16dp"

android:layout_height="match_parent">

<TextView

android:id="@+id/textView"

android:textSize="16sp"

android:layout_width="match_parent"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>

Notes

Use background threads for Geocoder operations.

Ensure internet access or offline map data is available.
