android Geocoder throws IOException: Service not Available

Question

after removing firebase analytics, ads and crashlytics (and google-services.json), I get the following error:

java.io.IOException: Service not Available

Code:

Geocoder gcd = new Geocoder(context, Locale.getDefault());
final List<Address> addresses = gcd.getFromLocation(latlng.latitude, latlng.longitude, 1);

I don't find any explanation why this happens... Anyone here who can help me? There is no APIKey to appy or something, right?

PS: My maps fragment is working (com.google.android.geo.API_KEY meta-data in manifest is used)

I'm running OnePlus One, Android 8.1.0 (aosp_bacon-8.1.0-20180331.agentfabulous) and gapps mini.

Oh, I recently reinstalled my Phone and thats maybe the problem... Uuuuh. I should test it with another phone (That I don't have :( ). However, I have Google Play and all this stuff installed, of course... — Denny Weinberg

Seems to be a problem with my phone. I will implement this. I'm going to close this thread.

But where to put the API Key? Since I deleted the google-services.json. And I don't want to re-create this file, because I deleted the firebase project...

I am not sure but if i good remember i wrote it in Manifest as metadata something like that <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY" android:value="key" /> app\src\main\res\values also here had file i just checked

Thats what I've done. This works for my Google Maps Fragment, but not for my Geocoder...

is that so meybe your key just expired orbugged it's posible your app work becouse app wasn't uninstalled

I reinstalled the app and the map still works. Strange... But not the geocoder... I think I will try with a temporary new key...
