    I don’t think there is such information given by Google’s API. The only solution I can think of is to have some kind of static data structure mapping country names to continent names (which you would presumably have to find yourself somehow, for instance by scraping this web page… ). Then you could text search the string that GeoCoder gives you and return the continent corresponding to the closest matching country name (which would be the key in your String mapping). (You would also have to treat the special case of US addresses which, annoyingly, end just with the state code)
