Geocoder doesn't always return a value

Question

I am able to successfully get lat/long and pass it to the geocoder to get an Address. However, I don\'t always get an address back. Seems like it takes a couple of attempts?

If you are using Autocomplete you can get place location from Place object:

private ResultCallback mUpdatePlaceDetailsCallback
        = new ResultCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onResult(PlaceBuffer places) {
        if (!places.getStatus().isSuccess()) {
            // Request did not complete successfully
            AALog.e("Geocoder Place query did not complete. Error: " + places.getStatus().toString());
            return;
        }
        // Get the Place object from the buffer.
        final Place place = places.get(0);
        //--------------here you can recover the place location---------------------
        ((DrawerActivity)getActivity()).lastPlace = place.getLatLng();
        //----------------------------------------------------------------------           
        places.release();
        getActivity().getFragmentManager().beginTransaction().remove(AutocompleteFragment.this).commit();
    }
};

This callback should be registered as follow inside AdapterView.OnItemClickListener:

        PendingResult placeResult = Places.GeoDataApi
                .getPlaceById(mGoogleApiClient, placeId);
        placeResult.setResultCallback(mUpdatePlaceDetailsCallback);
