Answer 1

Geocoder coder = new Geocoder(this);
        List
 addresses;
        try {
            addresses = coder.getFromLocationName(address, 5);
            if (addresses == null) {
            }
            Address location = addresses.get(0);
            double lat = location.getLatitude();
            double lng = location.getLongitude();
            Log.i("Lat",""+lat);
            Log.i("Lng",""+lng);
            LatLng latLng = new LatLng(lat,lng);
            MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
            markerOptions.position(latLng);
            googleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
            googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng,12));
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
