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

If you want to place your address in google map then easy way to use following  Intent searchAddress   new  Intent Intent ACTION VIEW Uri parse  geo 0 0 q   address    startActivity searchAddress     OR   if you needed to get lat long from your address then use Google Place Api following  create a method that returns a JSONObject with the response of the HTTP Call like following  public static JSONObject getLocationInfo String address            StringBuilder stringBuilder   new StringBuilder            try            address   address replaceAll       20                 HttpPost httppost   new HttpPost  http   maps google com maps api geocode json address     address     amp sensor false            HttpClient client   new DefaultHttpClient            HttpResponse response          stringBuilder   new StringBuilder                  response   client execute httppost               HttpEntity entity   response getEntity                InputStream stream   entity getContent                int b              while   b   stream read       -1                    stringBuilder append  char  b                           catch  ClientProtocolException e              catch  IOException e                       JSONObject jsonObject   new JSONObject            try               jsonObject   new JSONObject stringBuilder toString               catch  JSONException e                   TODO Auto-generated catch block             e printStackTrace                       return jsonObject          now pass that JSONObject to getLatLong   method like following  public static boolean getLatLong JSONObject jsonObject             try                longitute     JSONArray jsonObject get  results    getJSONObject 0                   getJSONObject  geometry   getJSONObject  location                    getDouble  lng                 latitude     JSONArray jsonObject get  results    getJSONObject 0                   getJSONObject  geometry   getJSONObject  location                    getDouble  lat               catch  JSONException e                return false                      return true          I hope this helps to you nd others     Thank you
