android - geocoder.getFromLocation function throws "Timed out waiting for server response" exception

Question

I am trying to get location of user by starting IntentService from MainActivity. Inside the service i try to reverse geocode the location inside a try block but when i catch the exception and print it says "Timed out waiting for server response" exception.But a few times I have got the location.so i think there is nothing wrong with my code.But it won't be useful if it throws exception 8 times out of 10.So can you suggest some thing to avoid this.

Geocoder having the bug of time out waiting for server response .In alternate to that you can hit this request from your code to get the json response of location address of respective lat,lng.
