Answer 1

If you want to send latlng via intent then you have to :

 latlng x;
String lat=string.valueof(x.getlatitude());

String lon=string.valueof(x.getlongitude())

Intent intent=new Intent();


Intent.putExtra("key-lat",lat);

Intent.putExtra("key-lon",lon);

And then in your second activity:

string lat=getintent.getStringExtra("key-lat");
string lon=getintent.getStringExtra("key-lon");

Latlng x=new latlng(lat.parseDouble(lat),lon.parseDouble(lon));

Tell me if this is what you are looking after.
