IIUC, doing a forward geocode (looking up an address from a name) is pretty
straightforward, you do this:

private void findLocation() {

        List<Address> locations = null;
        Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());

        try {
            locations =
geocoder.getFromLocationName(mName.getText().toString(), 5);
        } catch (IOException e) {}
    }

If I put in "The White House" or  "A&P Washington NJ", I get nothing back,
but the application Locale shows both.  If I put in "The Empire State
Building", I do get an address back.

What's the trick?
