Geocoding is a computational process of transforming a physical address description of a location to its geographical coordinates as latitude and longitude, while Reverse Geocoding converts geographical coordinates to a description of the address or location.
How to Geocode and Reverse Geocode in Android
Geocoder class can be used to Geocode and Reverse Geocode in Android to craft location-based apps.
In absence of the backend service in the platform, the Geocoder query will run an empty list.
Hence, it’s important to run the isPresent() method to determine if a Geocoder implementation exists.
The next step is to give permission to access the location to determine the geographical coordinates- latitude and longitude.Geocode: To Achieve Geocode, use the following code-
