How to get city name from latitude and longitude coordinates in Google Maps?
From a Geocoder object, you can call the getFromLocation(double, double, int) method. It will return a list of Address objects that have a method getLocality().
Geocoder gcd = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses = gcd.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);
if (addresses.size() > 0) {
System.out.println(addresses.get(0).getLocality());
}
else {
// do your stuff
}
I am using this code. You can also your this for getting city and other details about a Latitude and longitude :
public class getReverseGeoCoding {
private String Address1 = "", Address2 = "", City = "", State = "", Country = "", County = "", PIN = "";
public void getAddress() {
Address1 = "";
Address2 = "";
City = "";
State = "";
Country = "";
County = "";
PIN = "";
try {
JSONObject jsonObj = parser_Json.getJSONfromURL("http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=" + Global.curLatitude + ","
+ Global.curLongitude + "&sensor=true&key=YOUR_API_KEY");
String Status = jsonObj.getString("status");
if (Status.equalsIgnoreCase("OK")) {
JSONArray Results = jsonObj.getJSONArray("results");
JSONObject zero = Results.getJSONObject(0);
JSONArray address_components = zero.getJSONArray("address_components");
for (int i = 0; i < address_components.length(); i++) {
JSONObject zero2 = address_components.getJSONObject(i);
String long_name = zero2.getString("long_name");
JSONArray mtypes = zero2.getJSONArray("types");
String Type = mtypes.getString(0);
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(long_name) == false || !long_name.equals(null) || long_name.length() > 0 || long_name != "") {
if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("street_number")) {
Address1 = long_name + " ";
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("route")) {
Address1 = Address1 + long_name;
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("sublocality")) {
Address2 = long_name;
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("locality")) {
// Address2 = Address2 + long_name + ", ";
City = long_name;
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("administrative_area_level_2")) {
County = long_name;
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("administrative_area_level_1")) {
State = long_name;
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("country")) {
Country = long_name;
} else if (Type.equalsIgnoreCase("postal_code")) {
PIN = long_name;
}
}
// JSONArray mtypes = zero2.getJSONArray("types");
// String Type = mtypes.getString(0);
// Log.e(Type,long_name);
}
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public String getAddress1() {
return Address1;
}
public String getAddress2() {
return Address2;
}
public String getCity() {
return City;
}
public String getState() {
return State;
}
public String getCountry() {
return Country;
}
public String getCounty() {
return County;
}
public String getPIN() {
return PIN;
}
}

JSON PARSER CLASS
public class parser_Json {
public static JSONObject getJSONfromURL(String url) {
// initialize
InputStream is = null;
String result = "";
JSONObject jObject = null;
// http post
try {
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httppost = new HttpPost(url);
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(httppost);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
is = entity.getContent();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("log_tag", "Error in http connection " + e.toString());
}
// convert response to string
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
result = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("log_tag", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObject = new JSONObject(result);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("log_tag", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
return jObject;
}
}
You can get more info from this question : Get the particular address using latitude and longitude
Try this
List<Address> list = geoCoder.getFromLocation(location
.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude(), 1);
if (list != null & list.size() > 0) {
Address address = list.get(0);
result = address.getLocality();
return result;
Just Use this method and pass your lat, long.
public static void getAddress(Context context, double LATITUDE, double LONGITUDE) {
//Set Address
try {
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, 1);
if (addresses != null && addresses.size() > 0) {
String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0); // If any additional address line present than only, check with max available address lines by getMaxAddressLineIndex()
String city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();
String state = addresses.get(0).getAdminArea();
String country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
String postalCode = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();
String knownName = addresses.get(0).getFeatureName(); // Only if available else return NULL
Log.d(TAG, "getAddress: address" + address);
Log.d(TAG, "getAddress: city" + city);
Log.d(TAG, "getAddress: state" + state);
Log.d(TAG, "getAddress: postalCode" + postalCode);
Log.d(TAG, "getAddress: knownName" + knownName);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return;
}
try below code hope use full for you:-
CityAsyncTask cst = new CityAsyncTask(HomeScreenUserLocation.this,
latitude, longitude);
cst.execute();
String lo = null;
try {
lo = cst.get().toString();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ExecutionException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
and AsyncTask
public class CityAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
Activity act;
double latitude;
double longitude;
public CityAsyncTask(Activity act, double latitude, double longitude) {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
this.act = act;
this.latitude = latitude;
this.longitude = longitude;
}
@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
String result = "";
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(act, Locale.getDefault());
try {
List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude,
longitude, 1);
Log.e("Addresses", "-->" + addresses);
result = addresses.get(0).toString();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return result;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onPostExecute(result);
}
}
