This how I solve my problem any way tnx being part of the process.. public void pointLocation(){ gmap.setOnMapLongClickListener(new OnMapLongClickListener() { @Override public void onMapLongClick(LatLng latlng) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub if(marker!=null){ marker.remove(); } double lat = latlng.latitude; double lng = latlng.longitude; marker=gmap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(lat, lng))); Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Latitude :"+" "+lat+"Longitude :"+" "+lng, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } }); } } — user2273146, Mar 31 '14 at 01:25
