Question

what i am trying to do::

I am trying to get the location name using the Latitude & Longitude
I have made the key and added to manifest also

I also have pushed the latitude & Longitude to emulator also

I have added the project to DropBox :: Anyone can refer here Download & execute

   public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener{

        private EditText result;

                StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
                StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
            }
            context=this;

            result=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText_result);

String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(new Criteria(), true);

Location locations = locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);
List<String>  providerList = locationManager.getAllProviders();
if(null!=locations && null!=providerList && providerList.size()>0){

double latitude = locations.getLatitude();
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());

    }
} catch (IOException e) {

Your code seems fine to me.

Put the below code just below the setContentView() in your activity.

 if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT > 9) {
                StrictMode.ThreadPolicy policy = new StrictMode.ThreadPolicy.Builder().permitAll().build();
                StrictMode.setThreadPolicy(policy);
            }

If error comes after saving your application then just mouseover the error and add @SuppressLint("NewApi")(Eclipse will give you option on mouse over).For example you will get an error on the word "build".Inform me if it works.

Please Look at the updated Log (I followed your steps)....... Everything looks correct still why i am not able to get the O/p .... dont know .... I am using emulator(I dont have a device)...... Any ideas – Devrath Apr 16 '14 at 07:49
is your map showing??The last thing I can suggest is do not use the getaddress method(which you have written),rather put the content of the getaddress() method in doinbackground().Debug your application and see what is the value of the String "address". – kgandroid Apr 16 '14 at 07:53

I am sure there is an exception:

catch (Exception e)
{
   Log.e("tag", e.getMessage());
}

This will print : tag : Service not available in your logcat. To solve this problem follow this and this

Go to Location settings and enable:

Use Wireless networks
Use GPS satellites
