As part of my development feature development I need to know the location 
of the device based on the GPS coordinates.

For this I am planning to use the *Geocoder*. getFromLocation() API.


https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Geocoder.html.


I see in the documentation that this API might not be supported 


“The *Geocoder* class requires a backend service that is not included in 
> the core android framework.”

 

I would like to ask if you have any information regarding the percentage of 
devices *NOT* supporting this API?

I referring to devices running Android versions equal or *higher* than* 4.3* 
and including vendors such Samsung, Nexus, HTC, Huawei etc.

 

Thanks in advance.
