Get selected location from Google Maps activity

Question

I\'m trying to return the location selected by the user in the Google Maps Android application, but I can\'t seem to find information about how to achieve this task.

I guess you are looking for markers dragging.

mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
mLocation = mMap.getMyLocation();
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(mLocation.getLatitude(), mLocation.getLongitude())).draggable(true));
            mMap.setOnMarkerDragListener(new OnMarkerDragListener() {

                @Override
                public void onMarkerDrag(Marker marker) {

                }
                @Override
                public void onMarkerDragEnd(Marker marker) {
                    LatLng newLocation = marker.getPosition();
                    mLocation.setLatitude(newLocation.latitude);
                    mLocation.setLongitude(newLocation.longitude);
                    mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(mLocation.getLatitude(), mLocation.getLongitude()), 15.0f));

                }
                @Override
                public void onMarkerDragStart(Marker marker) {}

            });

then return your new location.i.e mLocation.
