I'm seeing a similar issue in all of the following emulator versions:
My code:
Geocoder geoCoder = new Geocoder(mActivity );
try{
List<Address> addresses = geoCoder.getFromLocation(
33.76175,
-118.19647,1);
address = addresses.get(0);
} catch ( IOException e ) {
fail(e.toString());
}
In 1.6 (level 4), 2.1 (Level 7) and 2.2 (Level 8), addresses always
has 0 entries; However, on my actual phone, I'm getting locations.
Is there some magic to getting the Geocoder to work on an emulator?
