Android: Nexus One - Geocoder causes IOException - works perfectly with other devices and emulator
- by Stefan Klumpp
The code below works perfectly for real devices running on 1.5, 1.6
and 2.0 as well as the emulator running on 2.1.
However, executing it
on the Nexus One (running 2.1) raises an IOException:
java.io.IOException: Unable to parse response from server
at android.location.Geocoder.getFromLocation(Geocoder.java:124)
That's the code snippet where it happens:
Double myLatitude = AppObject.myLocation.getLatitude();
Double myLongitude = AppObject.myLocation.getLongitude();
DEBUG.i(TAG, "My location: " + myLatitude + " | " + myLongitude);
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(MainActivity.this);
java.util.List<Address> addressList;
try {
addressList = geocoder.getFromLocation(myLatitude, myLongitude, 5);
if(addressList!=null && addressList.size()>0) {
currentAddress = new String();
DEBUG.i(TAG,addressList.get(0).toString());
currentAddress = addressList.get(0).getAddressLine(0) + ", "
+ addressList.get(0).getAddressLine(1) + ", "
+ addressList.get(0).getAddressLine(2);
}
return true;
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return false;
}
