Last example show "Get ISO country code for the given latitude/longitude, using GeoNames Web Service, using HttpURLConnection". GeoNames provide Java Client for GeoNames Webservices to help developers to easily access the geonames web services with java. This post show how to use it in Android.
To use Java Client for GeoNames Webservices in you Android Studio project, you have to download both geonames-1.1.13.jar and jdom-1.0.jar to your local machine. Visit http://www.geonames.org/source-code/ to download.
Then you have to add the JAR modules in your Android Studio Project, refer to the video.
dependencies of :geonames-1.1.13 and :jdom-1.0 will be added in your build.gradle.
Example to get ISO country code for the given latitude/longitude, using GeoNames Java Client:
MainActivity.java
layout/activity_main.xml
Permission of "android.permission.INTERNET" is needed in AndroidManifest.xml
