Geocoder isPresent() fails in android geocoder

Question

I am using GeoCoder in android

• I am using isPresent() to check whether the GeoCoder service is running in the application

---

Logic:

if(GeoCoderObject.isPresent()){
 Log.d("Message","GeoCoder instance is there");
 try{
  someMethod();
}
catch(IOException){
 Log.d("Message","Wiered Scenario");
}
catch(Esception e){
 Log.d("Message","Geocoder service not available");
}
}else{
 Log.d("Message","GeoCoder instance is not there");
}

---

Exception raised:

java.io.IOException: Service not Available

Log displayed in output is:

• Wiered Scenario

This is a similar behaviour as seen in another answer of stackoverflow here

---

Question:

• Well I can catch that perticular exception and make a new implementation if it is raised but is there any methods to check for this scenario !

Note: this isPresent() was working perfectly with device yesterday. today it is raising this error (no code changes was done)
