How to find the latitude and longitude from address in Android?

This example demonstrates how do I find the latitude and longitude from address in android.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

<RelativeLayout    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"    android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:layout_height="match_parent"    android:padding="16sp"    tools:context=".MainActivity">    <TextView       android:layout_width="wrap_content"       android:layout_height="wrap_content"       android:text="Enter Address"       android:id="@+id/textViewAddress"       android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium"       android:layout_alignParentStart="true" />    <EditText       android:layout_width="fill_parent"       android:layout_height="wrap_content"       android:id="@+id/editTextAddress"       android:layout_alignParentTop="true"       android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/textViewAddress"       android:singleLine="true"       android:text="" />    <Button       android:layout_width="wrap_content"       android:layout_height="wrap_content"       android:text="Show Lat/Long"       android:id="@+id/addressButton"       android:layout_below="@+id/textViewAddress"       android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/textViewAddress"       android:layout_marginTop="50dp" />    <TextView       android:layout_width="wrap_content"       android:layout_height="wrap_content"       android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"       android:text=""       android:id="@+id/latLongTV"       android:layout_centerVertical="true"       android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/textViewAddress" /> </RelativeLayout>

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.os.Handler; import android.os.Message; import android.view.View; import android.widget.Button; import android.widget.EditText; import android.widget.TextView; public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {    Button addressButton;    TextView textViewAddress;    TextView textViewLatLong;    @Override    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);       setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);       textViewAddress = findViewById(R.id.textViewAddress);       textViewLatLong = findViewById(R.id.latLongTV);       addressButton = findViewById(R.id.addressButton);       addressButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {          @Override          public void onClick(View arg0) {             EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.editTextAddress);             String address = editText.getText().toString();             GeoCodingLocation locationAddress = new GeoCodingLocation();             locationAddress.getAddressFromLocation(address, getApplicationContext(), new                GeoCoderHandler());          }       });    }    private class GeoCoderHandler extends Handler {       @Override       public void handleMessage(Message message) {          String locationAddress;          switch (message.what) {             case 1:                Bundle bundle = message.getData();                locationAddress = bundle.getString("address");             break;             default:             locationAddress = null;          }          textViewLatLong.setText(locationAddress);       }    } }

Step 4 − Create a java class (GeoCodeLocation.java) and add the following code −

import android.content.Context; import android.location.Address; import android.location.Geocoder; import android.os.Bundle; import android.os.Handler; import android.os.Message; import android.util.Log; import java.io.IOException; import java.util.List; import java.util.Locale; class GeoCodeLocation {    private static final String TAG = "GeoCodeLocation";    public static void getAddressFromLocation(final String    locationAddress,    final Context    context, final Handler handler) {       Thread thread = new Thread() {          @Override          public void run() {             Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(context,             Locale.getDefault());             String result = null;             try {                List addressList = geocoder.getFromLocationName(locationAddress, 1);                if (addressList != null && addressList.size() > 0) {                   Address address = (Address)                      addressList.get(0);                   StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();                   sb.append(address.getLatitude()).append("
");                   sb.append(address.getLongitude()).append("
");                   result = sb.toString();                }             } catch (IOException e) {                Log.e(TAG, "Unable to connect to Geocoder", e);             } finally {                Message message = Message.obtain();                message.setTarget(handler);                if (result != null) {                   message.what = 1;                   Bundle bundle = new Bundle();                   result = "Address: " + locationAddress +                      "

Latitude and Longitude                      :
" + result;                   bundle.putString("address", result);                   message.setData(bundle);                } else {                   message.what = 1;                   Bundle bundle = new Bundle();                   result = "Address: " + locationAddress +                      "
 Unable to get Latitude and                      Longitude for this address location.";                   bundle.putString("address", result);                   message.setData(bundle);                }                message.sendToTarget();             }          }       };       thread.start();    } }

Step 5 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    package="app.com.sample">    <uses-permission       android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />    <uses-permission       android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />    <application       android:allowBackup="true"       android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"       android:label="@string/app_name"       android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"       android:supportsRtl="true"       android:theme="@style/AppTheme">       <activity android:name=".MainActivity">          <intent-filter>             <action                android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />             <category                android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />          </intent-filter>       </activity>    </application> </manifest>

Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click Run  icon from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen −
