Convert between LatLng and Location

This example demonstrate how to convert between LatLng and Location. Refer onMapClick() in the code.

package com.example.androidmapsv2;

import java.util.Date;

import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;

import android.location.Location;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity 
 implements OnMapClickListener{

 private GoogleMap myMap;
 
 TextView info;
 
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        
        FragmentManager myFragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
        MapFragment myMapFragment = 
          (MapFragment)myFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        myMap = myMapFragment.getMap();
        
        myMap.setOnMapClickListener(this);
        
        info = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.info);

        myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
        myMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
        myMap.getUiSettings().setCompassEnabled(true);
        myMap.getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(true);
    }



 @Override
 public void onMapClick(LatLng point) {
  //myMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(point).title(point.toString()));

  //The code below demonstrate how to convert between LatLng and Location
  
  //Convert LatLng to Location
  Location location = new Location("Test");
  location.setLatitude(point.latitude);
  location.setLongitude(point.longitude);
  location.setTime(new Date().getTime()); //Set time as current Date
  info.setText(location.toString());
  
  //Convert Location to LatLng
  LatLng newLatLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
  
  MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions()
           .position(newLatLng)
           .title(newLatLng.toString());
  
  myMap.addMarker(markerOptions);

 }

}

 <TextView 
     android:id="@+id/info"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"/>

</LinearLayout>
