Richard,
Joining this discussion late.
I hit a similar problem when developing on a Mac using Eclipse and a
level 8 (SDK 2.2 plus Google APIs) target.
I was using code like this, based on an example in Reto Meier's book
Professional Android 2 Application Development
-----------------------
Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
try {
List<Address> addresses =
geoCoder.getFromLocation(latitude,
longitude, 1); // maxResults
StringBuilder sBuilder = new StringBuilder();
if(addresses.size() > 0){
Address address = addresses.get(0);
for(int i=0; i <
address.getMaxAddressLineIndex(); i++){
sBuilder.append(address.getAddressLine(i)).append("\n");
sBuilder.append(address.getLocality()).append("\n");
sBuilder.append(address.getPostalCode()).append("\n");
sBuilder.append(address.getCountryName()).append("\n");
}
addressString = sBuilder.toString();
}
} catch(IOException e) {
addressString = "Sorry address could not be
established\n" +
e.toString();
}
-----------------------------
The addressString value is displayed to the user via a TextView
object.
When running it on the emulator I alweays got a java.io.IOException:
Service not Available
Switching to an earlier level 7 target 8 (SDK 2.1 plus Google APIs)
and redeploying the same code, the first time I ran it I got a more
hopeful error "no address found" or similar, then after sending a
location via the emulator, I got the full geocoded address correctly
displayed. I am thus in the situation like Kugelschlag - that
geocoding on an emulator works in 2.1 (7) but throws an Io Exception
in 2.2 (8).
HTH
