Use Google geocoding service to get the location by passing a pair of latitude and longitude...it returns the response as accurate as possible in the form of JSON or XML whichever you prefer..

Here is a link the sensor parameter is a must so make sure for a browser you say false for a device having it pass true..

so just use the HttpURLConnection class and read the response from this url and you will get the response. Parse the response for formatted_address object.

This contains the address you need.

its awesome..
