Geocoding and Reverse

The document provides example code for geocoding and reverse geocoding in an Android application using the Geocoder class. It demonstrates how to obtain coordinates from a location name and retrieve an address from given coordinates, both executed on background threads to prevent UI blocking. Expected outputs for the examples include the latitude and longitude of the Taj Mahal and the address for New York City.

Example Code for Geocoding

package com.example.geocodingapp;

import android.location.Address;
import android.location.Geocoder;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Locale;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

// Geocoder usage to get coordinates from a location name


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

new Thread(() -> { // Run on background thread to avoid blocking UI


try {
List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocationName("Taj Mahal, Agra", 1);
if (addresses != null && !addresses.isEmpty()) {
double latitude = addresses.get(0).getLatitude();
double longitude = addresses.get(0).getLongitude();

Log.d("Geocoding", "Latitude: " + latitude + ", Longitude: " + longitude);


} else {
Log.d("Geocoding", "No address found");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}).start(); // Must run network-related code in background thread
}
}

Expected Output: Latitude: 27.1751, Longitude: 78.0421


Code for Reverse Geocoding
package com.example.reversegeocodingapp;

import android.location.Address;
import android.location.Geocoder;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Locale;

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

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

// Reverse geocoding should be run on a background thread


new Thread(() -> {
try {
// Coordinates for New York City (latitude, longitude)
List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(40.7128, -74.0060, 1);

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


String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
Log.d("Reverse Geocoding", "Address: " + address);
} else {
Log.d("Reverse Geocoding", "No address found");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}).start(); // Start background thread
}
}

Expected Output: Address: New York, USA
