List<Address> addresses = null;
try {
            Locale mLocale = new Locale("en");
            Geocoder gCoder = new Geocoder(context , mLocale);
            addresses = gCoder.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);
            Address addr = addresses.get(0);
            ...
            ...
            ..
        } catch (Exception e) {

        }

`catch (Exception e)` really? – Mohsin Naeem Mar 11 '13 at 06:27
why? what's wrong with that? – Archie.bpgc Mar 11 '13 at 06:28

if ever exception occurs, you need weeks to find it out :) I guess `catch (Exception e)` is the worst thing in programming you can do. – Mohsin Naeem Mar 11 '13 at 06:31
The above code usually gives a `Service not available` Exception message, using which we can show appropriate message. And it explicitly asks to catch the `IOException` while calling `getFromLocation` – Archie.bpgc Mar 11 '13 at 06:36
