Description

Right now, it's not possible to search by text for coordinates as there'll be an error prompting the user to use alternatives.

The alternative is to search for places in current location, get their names, use these names to look up (by using search by text) and then upon these names, using their place ids, get address components out of which one can derive locality or other appropriate values.

This issue requests the implementation of reverse geocoding in Kotlin library for use in Android.
