Double.toString(lat) + "&lon=" + Double.toString(lon) +

RequestBuilder builder = new RequestBuilder(RequestBuilder.GET,

String city = "";
try {
JSONValue json = JSONParser.parseStrict(response);
JSONObject address = json.isObject().get("address").isObject();
final String quotes = "^\"|\"$";
if (address.get("city") != null) {
