How to use Geocoder to get the current location zip code
- by Noble6
I am trying to get the zip code of the users current location.I have a teditText in MyActivity which should get populated based on the zip code I get from this activity.
public class LocationActivity extends MyActivity {
double LATITUDE;
double LONGITUDE;
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.ENGLISH);
{
try {
List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, 1);
if(addresses != null) {
Address returnedZip = addresses.get(0);
StringBuilder currentZip = new StringBuilder("Address:\n");
for(int i=0; i<returnedZip.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++) {
strcurrentZip.append(returnedZip.getPostalCode());
}
m_zip.setText(strcurrentZip.toString());
}
else {
m_zip.setText("No zip returned!");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
m_zip.setText("zip not found!");
}
}
}
I am not getting any response,the app logcat does not show any errors but the the editText field I want to populate remains blank.
