I have an Android App launched to market over 6 months, which uses geocoder.getFromLocation()
to "translate" latitude
and longitude
to human readable addresses:
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);
Everything were working fine until 7 hours ago (2016-01-15 04:00 UTC). Worked with Google Support and as per their suggestion, post the problem here to see if anyone have any idea to resolve this problem.
I've talked with the Maps API's Engineering Team, and it seems that the Android Geocoder uses a different backend than the Geocoding API, which we support, so there is not much we can do from our side right now.
In addition...
- Is the issue happening in all Android devices? Yes
- Can you access the following URL https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Barcelona From a device presenting the issue? Yes. We can access it via browser in those Android devices.
- Which version of Android do the devices have? Android versions ranging from 4.4.4 to 5.1.1
