    By using Java API Geocoder, it is easy to get geographical information of any location. The response will be in JSON or XML format.

    Write the following example to get Latitude/Longitude from Zip code:

    String postCode = "07001"; // you can use address of any location here instead of zipcode
final Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder();
GeocoderRequest geocoderRequest = new GeocoderRequestBuilder().setAddress(postCode).getGeocoderRequest();
GeocodeResponse geocoderResponse = geocoder.geocode(geocoderRequest);
List results = geocoderResponse.getResults();

System.out.println("results :  "+results); //This will print geographical information

float latitude = results.get(0).getGeometry().getLocation().getLat().floatValue();
float longitude = results.get(0).getGeometry().getLocation().getLng().floatValue();
System.out.println("Lat/Long :  " + latitude +" , "+longitude);

    Write the following Maven configuration in pom.xml file in your project:

    <dependency>
<groupId>com.google.code.geocoder-java</groupId>
<artifactId>geocoder-java</artifactId>
<version>0.5</version>

    Hope this will help you :)

    In you first code at line 5 : List results = geocoderResponse.getResults();

    can you please tell me import of List, because when Im trying with "java.util" im getting error at below lines.

    float latitude = results.get(0).getGeometry().getLocation().getLat().floatValue(); float longitude = results.get(0).getGeometry().getLocation().getLng().floatValue();
