ZipCode from location

Question

Is there any way to get zip-code of the current user location from location or lat or long. If so how?

Answer 1

Geocoder based implementation:

private String getZipCodeFromLocation(Location location) {
    Address addr = getAddressFromLocation(location);
    return addr.getPostalCode() == null ? "" : addr.getPostalCode();
}

private Address getAddressFromLocation(Location location) {
    Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this);
    Address address = new Address(Locale.getDefault());
    try {
        List
 addr = geocoder.getFromLocation(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude(), 1);
        if (addr.size() > 0) {
            address = addr.get(0);
        }
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return address;
}

You can get also other information from address, for example city name.
