Getting street name from Address/Location object in Android

Question

I'm trying to get the street name of my current location but I can't seem to get it.

I use this method to retrieve the Address:

public Address getAddressForLocation(Context context, Location location) throws IOException {

        if (location == null) {
            return null;
        }
        double latitude = location.getLatitude();
        double longitude = location.getLongitude();
        int maxResults = 1;

        Geocoder gc = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
        List<Address> addresses = gc.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, maxResults);

        if (addresses.size() == 1) {
            return addresses.get(0);
        } else {
            return null;
        }
    }

And then I can do things like. address.getLocality() and address.getPostalCode()

But what I want is the street name. Like in "Potterstreet 12". When I print the AddressLine(0) and AddressLine(1) I only get the postalcode, city and country.

How can I retrieve the street name of the position i'm currently at?

Answer 1

Have you tried using getAddressLine ? See here for more info on this method

Something like this should do (untested):

for (int i = 0; i < addresses.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++) {
 Log.d("=Adress=",addresses.getAddressLine(i));
}
