Geocoder cannot update address using while changing latitude and longitude

Question

It goes inside onLocationChanged block every time I move the map and new latitude and long is also fetched but it does not update the address but shows the address which was first loaded. I am using the following for updating the address:

@Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {

    Log.e("change" , "change");

    double latitude = location.getLatitude();
    double longitude = location.getLongitude();

    try {
        Geocoder geo = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
        List<Address> addresses = geo.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
        if (addresses.isEmpty()) {

            Log.e("TAG", "Waiting for Location");
        }
        else {
            if (addresses.size() > 0) {
                Log.e("TAG", addresses.get(0).getFeatureName() + ", " + addresses.get(0).getLocality() + ", " + addresses.get(0).getAdminArea() + ", " + addresses.get(0).getCountryName());
                //yourtextfieldname.setText(addresses.get(0).getFeatureName() + ", " + addresses.get(0).getLocality() +", " + addresses.get(0).getAdminArea() + ", " + addresses.get(0).getCountryName());
                //Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Address:- " + addresses.get(0).getFeatureName() + addresses.get(0).getAdminArea() + addresses.get(0).getLocality(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace(); // getFromLocation() may sometimes fail
    }
}

you have commented the line which updates the text on the textview! — Shubhank, May 17 '16 at 11:21
it logs only the first time address and next time even if it goes inside this block still loads the same previous address even thought i am getting different lat and long — bhaskar, May 17 '16 at 11:31
how diff are the lat and long, if they are mostly the same. you will get same address — Shubhank, May 17 '16 at 11:32

Geocoder is not available in some devices, use Google API Client instead of Geocoder
