Use this code to get location name from latitude and longitude:

Geocoder geocoder;
        List<Address> addresses;
        geocoder = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
            try {
                addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);
                if(addresses.size()>0)
                {
                String cityName = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0);
                 String stateName = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(1);
                 //Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),stateName , 1).show();
                 String countryName = addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(2);
                 }
            }catch (IOException e) {
                // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

for getting latitude and longitude of current location use following steps:

• Create new class in your project name it GPSTracker.java

• copy and paste code below into it

  public class GPSTracker extends Service implements LocationListener {

  private final Context mContext;
  
  // flag for GPS status
  boolean isGPSEnabled = false;
  
  // flag for network status
  boolean isNetworkEnabled = false;
  
  // flag for GPS status
  boolean canGetLocation = false;
  
   Location location; // location
    double latitude=0;// latitude
     double longitude=0; // longitude
  
  // The minimum distance to change Updates in meters
  private static final long MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES = 10; // 10 meters
  
  // The minimum time between updates in milliseconds
  private static final long MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES = 1000 * 60 * 1; // 1 minute
  
  // Declaring a Location Manager
  protected LocationManager locationManager;
  
  public GPSTracker(Context context) {
      this.mContext = context;
      getLocation();
  }
  
  public Location getLocation() {
      try {
          locationManager = (LocationManager) mContext
                  .getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
  
          // getting GPS status
          isGPSEnabled = locationManager
                  .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
  
          // getting network status
          isNetworkEnabled = locationManager
                  .isProviderEnabled(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
  
          if (!isGPSEnabled && !isNetworkEnabled) {
              // no network provider is enabled
          } else {
              this.canGetLocation = true;
              // First get location from Network Provider
              if (isNetworkEnabled) {
                  locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
                          LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER,
                          MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
                          MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
                  Log.d("Network", "Network");
                  if (locationManager != null) {
                      location = locationManager
                              .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.NETWORK_PROVIDER);
                      Log.v("location ",""+location);
  
  
                      if (location != null) {
                          latitude = location.getLatitude();
                          longitude = location.getLongitude();
                      }
                  }
              }
              // if GPS Enabled get lat/long using GPS Services
              if (isGPSEnabled) {
                  if (location == null) {
                      locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(
                              LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER,
                              MIN_TIME_BW_UPDATES,
                              MIN_DISTANCE_CHANGE_FOR_UPDATES, this);
                      Log.d("GPS Enabled", "GPS Enabled");
                      if (locationManager != null) {
                          location = locationManager
                                  .getLastKnownLocation(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
                          Log.v("location ",""+location);
  
  
                          if (location != null) {
                              latitude = location.getLatitude();
                              longitude = location.getLongitude();
                          }
                      }
                  }
              }
          }
  
      } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
      }
  
      return location;
  }
  
  /**
   * Stop using GPS listener
   * Calling this function will stop using GPS in your app
   * */
  public void stopUsingGPS(){
      if(locationManager != null){
          locationManager.removeUpdates(GPSTracker.this);
      }      
  }
  
  /**
   * Function to get latitude
   * */
  public  double getLatitude(){
      if(location != null){
          latitude = location.getLatitude();
      }
  
      // return latitude
      return latitude;
  }
  
  /**
   * Function to get longitude
   * */
  public  double getLongitude(){
      if(location != null){
          longitude = location.getLongitude();
      }
  
      // return longitude
      return longitude;
  }
  
  /**
   * Function to check GPS/wifi enabled
   * @return boolean
   * */
  public boolean canGetLocation() {
      return this.canGetLocation;
  }
  

  @Override public void onLocationChanged(Location location) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub

  }

  @Override public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub

  }

  @Override public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub

  }

  @Override public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub

  }

  @Override public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub return null; } }

• Now where you want to get latitude and longitude use this code:

  GPSTracker mTracker = new GPSTracker(MyActivity.this); double lat = mTracker.getLatitude(); double lng = mTracker.getLongitude();
