Answer 1

Got Solution The Above mention posted code is fine It can get the current location. If you will try to run it on emulator it will show you error because "Geocoder" class is not compatible with Emulator. Run it on Device it is Working fine.

Answer 2

Try with changing this with MainActivity.this in getAddress method:

Geocoder geocode = new Geocoder(MainActivity.this, Locale.getDefault());

getFromLocation method Throws. So check your latitude value. It is not in correct range:

IllegalArgumentException    if latitude is less than -90 or greater than 90

IllegalArgumentException    if longitude is less than -180 or greater than 180

IOException if the network is unavailable or any other I/O problem occurs

Answer 3

The actual function is getFromLocation(double latitude, double longitude, int maxResults) . You are passing longitude in place of latitude and latitude in place of longitude . Try changing this line:

addresses = geocode.getFromLocation(longitude, latitude, 1);

to this:

addresses = geocode.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);

And also add null and size check to array before accessing it to avoid NullPointerException and IndexOutOfBoundException as the documentation says it can return null array

if (addresses != null && addresses.size() > 0) {
    String Addres_ = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
    String Country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
    String City = addresses.get(0).getLocality();

    adr.setText(Addres_);
    cty.setText(City);
    ctry.setText(Country);
} else {
    // Reset fields here
}
