Question

I have this method to show the user’s latitude and longitude on a map activity:

public void animateMap(Location location){
        double lat = location.getLatitude();
        double lng = location.getLongitude();

       Toast.makeText(MyMapActivity.this,
                "Sie sind an\n" + lat + "\n" + lng, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT)
                .show();
        GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint((int) (lat * 1E6), (int) (lng * 1E6));
        mapController.animateTo(point, new Message());
        mapOverlay.setPointToDraw(point);

    }

How to implement the Geocoder on my method? So the Toast will display the location’s address instead of the coordinates

Answer 1

you use

 Geocoder myLocation = new Geocoder(context, Locale.ENGLISH);
List<Address> myList= myLocation.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);
Address add = myList.get(0);
String addressString = add.getAddressLine(0);
String country = add.getCountryName();                      
String city = add.getLocality();
