How to fetch Latitude, Longitude from address and vice-versa(address from Latitude, Longitude) using Google Geo coder SDK in android| Kotlin

 In this Android development related article, you will get a simple solution that, how to get address using Latitude, Longitude and vice-versa. i.e latitude, longitude from an address text. It is very easy and simple. Read full article and carefully follow all the steps.

Here we use google Geocoder SDK.

Okay, first we create an android project in kotlin and create an Activity say MainActivity.kt. Use the below code-

Function get Latitude, Longitude from Address-

     fun getLatLngFromAddress(context: Context, mAddress: String): String {

        val coder = Geocoder(context)
        lateinit var address: List<Address>


        try {
            address = coder.getFromLocationName(mAddress, 5)
            if (address == null) {
                return "Fail to find Lat,Lng"
            }
            val location = address[0]



            return " Latitude: ${location.latitude}\n Longitude: ${location.longitude}"
        } catch (e: Exception) {
            return "Fail to find Lat,Lng"

        }
    }

Function get Address from Latitude, Longitude-

    fun getAddressFromLatLng(context: Context, latitude: String, longitude: String): String {
        val addresses: List<Address>
        val geocoder = Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault())

        try {
            addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(
                latitude.toDouble(),
                longitude.toDouble(),
                5
            )


            return if (addresses.isNotEmpty()) {
                val address =
                    addresses[0].getAddressLine(0)

                val city = addresses[0].locality
                val state = addresses[0].adminArea
                val country = addresses[0].countryName
                val postalCode = addresses[0].postalCode
                address
            } else {
                "No Address found"
            }


        } catch (e: Exception) {

            e.printStackTrace()
            return "Fail to search Address"
        }


    }
