You can use geocoding to search or see this nice tutorial which uses json parsing GoogleMaps.

Problem
I'm developing an Android application and using GoogleMaps API v2. This application works so far but I want search in the map with a path: Screenshot : my codes: ``` Position_mark = new LatLng(35.7008, 51.437); map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(Position_mark, 15)); map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(10), 2000, null); map.setOnMapClickListener(this); map.setOnMapLongClickListener(this); map.setOnMarkerDragListener(this); ``` ... ``` @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { //Used to put dark icons on light action bar mGoItem = menu.add(0, Delete_ITEM_ID, 0, null); mGoItem.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher) .setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS); SearchView searchView = new SearchView(getSupportActionBar().getThemedContext()); searchView.setQueryHint("Search for Places…"); searchView.setIconified(false); menu.add("Search") .setIcon(R.drawable.abs__ic_search) .setActionView(searchView) .setShowAsAction(MenuItem.SHOW_AS_ACTION_ALWAYS); searchView.setOnQueryTextListener(new SearchView.OnQueryTextListener() { @Override public boolean onQueryTextSubmit(String newText) { return true; } /** * Called when the query text is changed by the user. * @param newText the new content of the query text field. * @return false if the SearchView should perform the * default action of showing any suggestions if available, * true if the action was handled by the listener. */ @Override public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) { Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), newText, 1).show(); return true; } }); return true; } @Override public void onMapClick(LatLng point) { // TODO Auto-generated method stub // tvLocInfo.setText(point.toString()); map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(point)); map.clear(); Marker Kiel = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions() .position(point) .title("Kiel") .snippet("Kiel is cool").draggable(true) .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory .fromResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher))); } ``` I use `ActionBarSherlock` and `SearchView` for searching. How to search in GoogleMaps API with path not latitute or longitude?
