So I tried to convert a text address into coordinates using geocoder.getFromLocationName() in kotlin

import android.location.Geocoder


val geocoder = Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault())
try {
    val result = geocoder.getFromLocationName(club.location, 1) // it gets hung here before throw!!
    Log.d(LOG_TAG, "${club.location} translates into cordinates : ${result[0].latitude}, ${result[0].longitude}")
}
catch (ex : Exception){
    Log.d(LOG_TAG, "${ex.message}")
}

but it always catches the exception saying

Caused by: java.io.IOException: DEADLINE_EXCEEDED: ClientCall started after deadline exceeded: -15.077367176s from now
                                                                                                        at android.location.Geocoder$SynchronousGeocoder.getResults(Geocoder.java:388)
                                                                                                        at android.location.Geocoder.getFromLocationName(Geocoder.java:277)
                                                                                                        at android.location.Geocoder.getFromLocationName(Geocoder.java:202)

Is the Geocoder in android not working ? find it hard to believe .. or did I miss anything ?

I tried to look up online but not found helpful responses

alright, seems like simulator doesn't work for geocoder usage but real physical device works
