Sorry I do not understand what you're saying. So maybe we're talking different things. From your thread title I was assuming that you are trying to make Geocoder<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Geocoder.html>work on your brother's device.
However, Geocoder is not available on every device. Concatenating the country name doesn't change a thing about it. Some Geocoder implementations are empty on some devices, they don't do anything and return null all the time (that's what you are observing on your brother's device). The isPresent<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Geocoder.html#isPresent%28%29>method is nothing to implement. It is a static method of Geocoder for checking whether the Geocoder component is present on a device. If you are not referring to the Geocoder class then tell us what you are using instead and show the lines of code that create the "addresses" object.
