As you know for getting location address you can use google GeoCoder

beside that for get location addresses by providing latitude and longitude you can use this API.this is reliable and more faster than google Geocoder.Here i attach the link and small example...

API url -

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=

you can concatenate latitude and longitude value next to equal sign at the url.

example -

lat = 6.123456

lng = 79.123456

String url =

"https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=lat+","+lng";

this will return a nice jsonObject and you can play with it, just try this.Currently im using this API for my location services and its more faster than normal google geoCoder API.To catch the json response you can use volley or anything.Happy coding.
