Here is an example:

 private void updateWithNewLocation(Location location) { TextView myLocationText; myLocationText = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.myLocationText); String latLongString = "No location found"; String addressString = "No address found"; if (location != null) { double lat = location.getLatitude(); double lng = location.getLongitude(); latLongString = "Lat:" + lat + "\nLong:" + lng; double latitude = location.getLatitude(); double longitude = location.getLongitude(); Geocoder gc = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault()); try { List<Address> addresses = gc.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1); StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); if (addresses.size() > 0) { Address address = addresses.get(0); for (int i = 0; i < address.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++) sb.append(address.getAddressLine(i)).append("\n"); sb.append(address.getLocality()).append("\n"); sb.append(address.getPostalCode()).append("\n"); sb.append(address.getCountryName()); } addressString = sb.toString(); } catch (IOException e) {} } myLocationText.setText("Your Current Position is:\n" + latLongString + "\n\n" + addressString); } private final LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() { public void onLocationChanged(Location location) { updateWithNewLocation(location); }
