Answer 1

You can use EditText or TextWatcher. I used an EditText and a Search button. With this on button click, it search location.

Here is my code on button click :

button1.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {          @Override         public void onClick(View v) {              String g = searchview.getText().toString();              Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(getBaseContext());             List<Address> addresses = null;              try {                 // Getting a maximum of 3 Address that matches the input                 // text                 addresses = geocoder.getFromLocationName(g, 3);                 if (addresses != null && !addresses.equals(""))                     search(addresses);              } catch (Exception e) {              }          }     }); 

and here is search method

protected void search(List<Address> addresses) {      Address address = (Address) addresses.get(0);     home_long = address.getLongitude();     home_lat = address.getLatitude();     latLng = new LatLng(address.getLatitude(), address.getLongitude());      addressText = String.format(             "%s, %s",             address.getMaxAddressLineIndex() > 0 ? address                     .getAddressLine(0) : "", address.getCountryName());      markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();      markerOptions.position(latLng);     markerOptions.title(addressText);      map1.clear();     map1.addMarker(markerOptions);     map1.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng));     map1.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15));     locationTv.setText("Latitude:" + address.getLatitude() + ", Longitude:"             + address.getLongitude());   } 

Edited- for xml code

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" tools:context="com.example.google_map.MainActivity" >   <fragment     android:id="@+id/map"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"     android:layout_alignParentTop="true"     class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" />  <TextView     android:id="@+id/latlongLocation"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"     android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"     android:layout_alignRight="@+id/searchView1"     android:background="#ff058fff"     android:gravity="bottom"     android:paddingBottom="5dp"     android:paddingLeft="5dp"     android:paddingRight="5dp"     android:paddingTop="5dp"     android:textColor="#ffffffff" />  <EditText     android:id="@+id/searchView1"     android:layout_width="250dp"     android:layout_height="34dp"     android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"     android:layout_alignParentTop="true"     android:layout_marginLeft="18dp"     android:layout_marginTop="14dp"     android:hint="Search Location"     android:textColor="@android:color/black"     android:background="@android:color/white" > </EditText>  <Button     android:id="@+id/button1"     android:layout_width="28dp"     android:layout_height="25dp"     android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/searchView1"     android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/searchView1"     android:layout_alignRight="@+id/searchView1"     android:background="@drawable/g_search_btn" /></RelativeLayout>
