[Google Maps Android API]

You can split the string by comma and then parse the string to long

```
String[] latlong =  "-34.8799074,174.7565664".split(",");
double latitude = Double.parseDouble(latlong[0]);
double longitude = Double.parseDouble(latlong[1]);
```

To constructs a LatLng with the given latitude and longitude coordinates

```
LatLng location = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
```

[Google Maps JavaScript API]

To do same operation with Maps JavaScript API service (JSFiddle demo) -

```
  var latlong =  '-34.397,150.644'.split(',');
  var latitude = parseFloat(latlong[0]);
  var longitude = parseFloat(latlong[1]);
  var mapOptions = {
    zoom: 8,
    center: {lat: latitude, lng: longitude}
  };
```
