I need to get the user current city name. If getting the city name with AGPS or anything is good. I need the method or code for getting the current city in android. Please share if you know.

This one is for getting location name from current lat,long 

Geocoder gcd = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
List<Address> addresses = gcd.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);
if (addresses.size() > 0) 
    System.out.println(addresses.get(0).getLocality());

  • java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.andro.loc.LocfinderActivity in loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[/data/app/com.andro.loc-2.apk] – arnp Nov 14 '11 at 10:04
  • Its your activity class not found in DVM. its not a geocoder exception, Have you mentioned activity name in manifest file. if yes then remove application from emulator and re-install it and if not then just add it in manifest. – user370305 Nov 14 '11 at 10:09
  • I am getting error which says "Timed out waiting for response from server". I have added Internet permission. Do it need something else? – Bhaumik Belani Apr 26 '16 at 17:34

I've upvoted user370305 answer but i'll just post an alternative just in case.

You can also find the City name from your IP Address.
