Get address from LatLng

Question

Right now I currently am displaying the Latitude/Longitude within my Android Studio MapsActivity Marker by using the following:

 LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
    MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
    markerOptions.position(latLng);
    markerOptions.title(String.valueOf(latLng));
    markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE));

    currentLocationMarker = mMap.addMarker((markerOptions));

    mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));

My goal is to display the entire address.

Use geocoder to get address from latlng

Geocoder geocoder; 
List<Address> addresses; 
geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault()); 
addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1); // Here 1 represent max location result to returned, by documents it recommended 1 to 5 
String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0); // If any additional address line present than only, check with max available address lines by getMaxAddressLineIndex()
String city = addresses.get(0).getLocality();

Thank you, the reason why I posted this was because I am curious how to change the result of "null" for state, when the user is in a location that is not the United States – ttattini May 21 '18 at 16:26
It wants to crash on this line: String address = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(); – ttattini May 21 '18 at 16:53
Check that addresses is not null – Fazal Hussain May 21 '18 at 16:54
