   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 a string containing the address. The address variable holds the converted addresses.
