Hi I have developed an android app which uses google places api to display the nearby locations.
Now when I click on a place name I want to display its location in the map. My question is that how to pass the latitude and longitude to the google maps to be displayed. Right now I am passing the values statically but when I click on the name I want to pass its lat and long dynamically to be drawn. Please tell me how to do that. I am new to android.
