How to find your location on android programmatically?

How to find out a list of locations at a given location on Android?

• My goal is to generate a list of all addresses at a given location in latitude and longitude. But I'm not sure how this can be done in Android. My initial idea was to add a radius of length L to that location, then loop through all points in that circle to list all the addresses. However, I realize this method could take a lot of time, and the result might not be accurate due to the density of each area. Besides, how large should my radius so that the result is rationale to the user. I wonder anyone has done this before could share me some experiences? Thank you.

  After doing a bit of research, I found one way to handle this situation is to use Google Place API and returns JSON array of places: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/places/
