Reverse Geocoding in android 2.2 Froyo(or api level greater than 8)

I have faced problem in android 2.2 Froyo(or api level greater than 8) and found solution myself.

getFromLocationName() returns null or get java.io.IOException: Service not Available
exception so i have find alternate solution to solve this issue.

Google provide service for reverse Geocoding just use this service for reverse geocoding in api level 8 or greater.

below is sample code:

Firstly add kxml.jar into your project using project->Build Path
For download kxml.jar click here.

now create below class into your project.
