                .findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
        if (map == null) {
            Toast.makeText(this, "Google Maps not available",
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }

  • Have a look at [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3574644/how-can-i-find-the-latitude-and-longitude-from-address). There are many post which already exist for this. – Exception May 22 '15 at 11:04
  • Okay do you want latitude and longitude of the location edit text gives. and then it searches that address on google maps? – Suraj Palwe May 22 '15 at 11:09
  • yes sir as we search on google maps – Chaudry Junaid SaifUllah Chadh May 22 '15 at 11:11
  • @ChaudryJunaidSaifUllahChadh Follow [this](http://wptrafficanalyzer.in/blog/android-geocoding-showing-user-input-location-on-google-map-android-api-v2/) tutorial. It tries to do exactly what you desire. – Exception May 22 '15 at 11:18
  • Sir the tutorial you suggested me is causing ClassCastException exception. And It is not solving. When I extend my activity with FragmentActivity it gives this exception. Now tell me what should I do ? @ Exception – Chaudry Junaid SaifUllah Chadh May 22 '15 at 11:30
