Question

Is it possible to get latitude and longitude from Google map on touch event?

For example: if i touch the New York on map, it should give me the latitude and longitude of New York.

Answer 1

You can get the location from most of the touch events, e.g.

public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
    {
        int X = (int)event.getX();          
        int Y = (int)event.getY();

        GeoPoint geoPoint = mapView.getProjection().fromPixels(X, Y);
    }
