I am a newbie of programming Android with Google map API. I met a question about the capturing the target country, when the users click any point of the target country (e.g. US as below figure showed), how can I get the value "United States" on this onClick action??

Thanks for any comments or suggestion of my dumb question.

when user click onmap there is a listener called onMapClickListener() 

googleMap.setOnMapClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener() {
    @Override
    public void onMapClick(LatLng position) {
           //Get the lat long here from variable position
           //Use GeoCoder class to fetch the country from latlong like this
           Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getActivity(), Locale.getDefault()); 
           List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocation(latitude, longitude, 1);         
           if(addresses.size() > 0){
               String country = addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
           }
    }
});

  • Sorry for the late reply. Do I need to import any statement at the Import part for using GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener? Thanks. – Chris.C Aug 19 '16 at 03:09
