As quoo mentionned, you can use reverse geocoding. From quoo's link,

Geocoder myLocation = new Geocoder(getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());   
List<Address> myList = myLocation.getFromLocation(latPoint, lngPoint, 1);

You can get then the state by using the getAdminArea() method from the Address object.

myList.get(0).getAdminArea()

See more info here of what information you can get from the Address object

I assume you could use reverse geocoding to figure out the state. There was a similar question for android asked here: Android: Reverse geocoding - getFromLocation
