I  m in Brazil  Because of the regional details sometimes the city cames in differents ways  I think its the same in India and other countries  So  to prevent errors I make this verification   private fun getAddress latLng  LatLng   String          1     val geocoder   Geocoder this      val addresses  List lt Address gt       var city    no       try            addresses   geocoder getFromLocation latLng latitude  latLng longitude  1           if  null    addresses  amp  amp   addresses isEmpty        prevent from error                sometimes the city comes in locality  sometimes in subAdminArea              if  addresses 0  locality    null                     city   addresses 0  subAdminArea               else                   city   addresses 0  locality                                    catch  e  IOException            Log e  MapsActivity   e localizedMessage             return city         You can also check if city returns  no   If so  wasn  t possible to get the user location  Hope it helps

From a Geocoder object  you can call the getFromLocation double  double  int  method  It will return a list of Address objects that have a method getLocality     Geocoder gcd   new Geocoder context  Locale getDefault     List lt Address gt  addresses   gcd getFromLocation lat  lng  1   if  addresses size    gt  0        System out println addresses get 0  getLocality       else         do your stuff
