Get Address in Russian Language using Android Geocoder getFromLocation

Question

I am using GeoCoder to fetch address from lat and long. here is my code:

Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addressList = geocoder.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);

It gives me address properly, but in English. I need the address in Russian language. What i have tried so far is to set locale to Russian language and pass it to geocoder object.

Locale aLocale = new Locale.Builder().setLanguage("RU").setScript("Latn").setRegion("RS").build();
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, aLocale);
List<Address> addressList = geocoder.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);

But still i get address in English instead of Russian. Please suggest what should I do.

Thanks in advance.

Try this code

        Locale aLocale;
        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
            aLocale = new Locale.Builder().setLanguage("RU").setScript("Latn").setRegion("RS").build();
        } else {
            aLocale = new Locale("RU");
        }
        Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, aLocale);
        List<Address> addressList = geocoder.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);
