Android Geocoder returning empty address

Question

I am trying to get location address from Geocoder, I am able to get latitude and longitude but it returning address with zero length.

Here is my code snippet

            double longi = location.getLongitude();
            double latt = location.getLatitude();

            Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), Locale.ENGLISH);

            String add="";
            try {


                List<Address> address = geocoder.getFromLocation(latt/1E6,longi/1E6, 1);


                System.out.println("in location listener "+address.size());


                int i=0;

                if(address.size()>0)
                {
                    for(i=0;i<address.get(0).getMaxAddressLineIndex();i++)
                    {
                        add += address.get(0).getAddressLine(i);
                    }


                    Toast toast  = new Toast(getApplicationContext());
                    toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), add, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }   

            } catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

Please help me to get it correct. Thanks in advance!

The Geocoder query methods will return an empty list if there no backend service in the platform. Use the isPresent() method to determine whether a Geocoder implementation exists.

See the Geocoder documentation for more information.
