A:
Geocoder coder = new Geocoder(this);
List<Address> address;
try {
address = coder.getFromLocationName(strAddress,5);
if (address == null) {
return null;
}
Address location = address.get(0);
location.getLatitude();
location.getLongitude();
p1 = new GeoPoint((int) (location.getLatitude() * 1E6),
(int) (location.getLongitude() * 1E6));
return p1;
strAddress is string that you pass of address. address variable is address converting and getting address.

You need the right permissions to be able to access the service. #<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /><uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

which android api version you are building application you need to have google api available i have build with google api 8. check that google api folder is there in your project. and in your manifest file add uses library com.google.android.maps

A:
hi, This is how you can find the latitude and longitude of where we have click on map.
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event, MapView mapView)
{
//---when user lifts his finger---
if (event.getAction() == 1) {
GeoPoint p = mapView.getProjection().fromPixels(
(int) event.getX(),
(int) event.getY());
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
p.getLatitudeE6() / 1E6 + "," +
p.getLongitudeE6() /1E6 ,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
return false;
}
it works well.
To get the location's address we can use geocoder class
