31/**
32 * A class for handling geocoding and reverse geocoding.  Geocoding is
33 * the process of transforming a street address or other description
34 * of a location into a (latitude, longitude) coordinate.  Reverse
35 * geocoding is the process of transforming a (latitude, longitude)
36 * coordinate into a (partial) address.  The amount of detail in a
37 * reverse geocoded location description may vary, for example one
38 * might contain the full street address of the closest building, while
39 * another might contain only a city name and postal code.
40 *
41 * The Geocoder class requires a backend service that is not included in
42 * the core android framework.  The Geocoder query methods will return an
43 * empty list if there no backend service in the platform.  Use the
44 * isPresent() method to determine whether a Geocoder implementation
45 * exists.
