How to get a postalcode from Lat and Long?

Question

I have been able to get the lat and long, but is there a way to then obtain a rough guess on a local postcode?

I need this to work in the UK.

If this is not possible please say so.

Geocoder geocoder;
List<Address> addresses;
geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);

Postal code (ZIP code for United States), if available, is:

final String postalCode = addresses.get(0).getPostalCode();

(Found here.)

And of course you need active Internet connection for this to work. – Prizoff Jul 22 '13 at 19:40
