geocoder.getFromLocationName returns only null

Question

I am going out of my mind for the last two days with an IllegalArgumentException error I receive in Android code when trying to get a coordinates out of an addr

Answer 1

public LatLng determineLatLngFromAddress(Context appContext, String strAddress) {
        LatLng latLng = null;
        Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(appContext, Locale.getDefault());
        List
 geoResults = null;

        try {
            geoResults = geocoder.getFromLocationName(strAddress, 1);
            while (geoResults.size()==0) {
                geoResults = geocoder.getFromLocationName(strAddress, 1);
            }
            if (geoResults.size()>0) {
                Address addr = geoResults.get(0);
                latLng = new LatLng(addr.getLatitude(),addr.getLongitude());
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.print(e.getMessage());
        }

    return latLng; //LatLng value of address
    }
