If you're using the Geocoder .getFromLocationName method there seems to be problem in the emulator with API level 8 (SDK 2.2) target in Eclipse. see link text

If you switch your target to API level 7, it may work properly for you.

Whoops! you edited whilst I was composing this, my suggestion might not work
