Geocoder.getFromLocation throws IOException on Android emulator

I am using Google api 7, Android2.1 emulator

I am trying to do reverse geocoding and I get:

03-07 16:19:42.661: WARN/System.err(261): java.io.IOException: Unable to parse response from server

on that line:

      List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude(), 1);

any idea?

thanks, ray.

Do note that when you call that method, it fires off an API call to Google Maps' servers - it isn't doing it on the device. I suspect this is an error you will see sometimes, because the method is not managing to get a meaningful response from the Google Maps API. I've used this method and I occasionally see that error, but I usually put the method into a loop of 10 retries, and quietly ignore the occasional error. If it's happening every time you call the method, there's something odd happening

I think Google is blocking IP! – Muhammad Babar Jun 24 '14 at 06:11

@ErumHannan Unfortunately if google blocks ip or there server doesn't respond this is something out of our control. – Muhammad Babar Feb 18 '15 at 13:37
