Get Lat and long from postcode without using the map android

I have an app that calculate the distances between my current location to the specific location. I am able to do this by entering the lat and long manually. is the a way to get lat and long from the postcode provided by the user without using the map because I don't need to see the map in this instance:

The postcode is collected from an Input Text box from the user.

You can use the Geocoder getFromLocationName(String locationName, int maxResults)to transform address information to Latitude, Longitude. Documentation can be found here.
