The Geocoder.getFromLocationName(String, int) method will always throw an IOException in the Android Emulator on versions >= 2.2. This is a [known issue](https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8816) with the Android Emulator.

A possible resolution may be to use [virtualization to simulate an Android environment](http://blogs.nuxeo.com/dev/2011/10/speeding-up-the-android-emulator.html), since the Android SDK's virtual devices emulate the actual ARM processor - hardly a necessity for this app.
