Android: How can i find user's city via gps?

I develop a new application in android studio. I want to find user's city. I tried with Geocoder but some times it returns null. Is there any way that i can find user's city? I already know his latitude and longitude

Solution

  • If you know the lat and long, you can do this.

    https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/start?csw=1#ReverseGeocoding

    You will use this API like so... you would have have to parse out the JSON http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=LAT,LONG&key=ENTER_API_KEY
