java.io.IOException: grpc failed

Question

When I use call getFromLocationName I get an IOException with description "grpc failed".

Code that's ran

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    mMap = googleMap;
    try {
        Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());
        List<Address> listAdresses = geocoder.getFromLocationName("London", 10);
        Log.i("PlaceInfo", listAdresses.get(0).toString());
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

Error the console outputs:

May be you are having this issue in genymotion and android studio emulator only. I faced same issue with genymotion and android studio emulator and then i checked it in android real device. It's working good for me. Did you check it in real device?
