grpc failed while working with maps and location

Question

I am working with Maps and Location,the following code is right but then also it shows grpc failed

Geocoder gc=new Geocoder(this);
        List<Address> list=gc.getFromLocationName("White House",1);
        Address adr=list.get(0);

How can i resolve it? i am using android studio 2.3.3.

What was the solution? I get the same error. I'm not using maps, just Geocoder. I tried adding to the manifest just in case, but didn't solve anything. — Mackan, Aug 03 '17 at 22:12

Anybody knows any solution, I also started to get this error. Frustrating thing is that, It works on some real device but on some not. And have tried almost all possible solutions, but no result. — zephyr, Oct 24 '17 at 12:22

I got the same error, I was in a Fragment and my solution was creating the Geocoder sending new Geocoder(getActivity().getApplicationContext()); instead new Geocoder(getContext());

I hope it help you

I solved this issue by reducing the work in main thread. I tried to restart the emulator and reinstall android studio but nothing works.Then, I noticed some messages in logcat

"Skipped 305 frames! The application may be doing too much work on its main thread."

I thought my app was having a heavy work so I moved all google map's location method to background thread and now it works like a charm. Hope it helps.

I used to get same error. I solved it by creating the Geocoder in the following way:

Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());

I solved a similar issue by adding

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE"/>

to my manifest file.

Turning wifi off and on at the start of the application was solving the error but this made it so I didnt have to do that every time.
