how to get lat and long on touch event from google map?

Question

Is it possible to get latitude and longitude from Google map on touch event?

For example: if i touch the New York on map, it should give me the latitude and longitude of New York.

Instead of intercepting the TouchEvent with an overlay you can set an OnMapClickListener directly on the GoogleMap object.

googleMap.setOnMapClickListener(new OnMapClickListener(){
        void onMapClick(LatLng point){
            Toast.makeText(getContext(),
                point.latitude + ", " + point.longitude,
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
