reverse geocodeing getFromLocation method works fine when you build avd with the target as Google API 19 and also build the application target with the Google API 19.

If you are using android 2.2 then It's a bug in the emulator for 2.2 http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8816

It seems to me that this is a problem with the emulator... The getFromLocationName method seems to work just fine on the devices..
