Answer 1

// Setting onclick event listener for the map
mMap.setOnMapClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onMapClick(LatLng point) {

        // Creating MarkerOptions
        MarkerOptions options = new MarkerOptions();

        // Setting the position of the marker
       options.position(point);

        //Get LatLng from touched point

        double touchLat=point.latitude;
        double touchLong=point.longitude;

        ///here is reverse GeoCoding which helps in getting address from latlng

        try {
            Geocoder geo = new Geocoder(MainActivity.this.getApplicationContext(), Locale.getDefault());
            List
 addresses = geo.getFromLocation(touchLat,touchLong, 1);
            if (addresses.isEmpty()) {
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Waiting for Location",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            else {

                if (addresses.size() > 0) {
                    address =addresses.get(0).getFeatureName()
                            + ", " + addresses.get(0).getLocality()
                            + ", " + addresses.get(0).getAdminArea()
                            + ", " + addresses.get(0).getCountryName();
                    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Address:- " +address, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                }

                // draws the marker at the currently touched location
                drawMarker(point,"Your Touched Position",address+"");

            }
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace(); // getFromLocation() may sometimes fail
        }
