Hi try the following code to get Geocode point from given address.

List
 foundGeocode = null;
/* find the addresses  by using getFromLocationName() method with the given address*/
foundGeocode = new Geocoder(this).getFromLocationName("address here", 1);
 foundGeocode.get(0).getLatitude(); //getting latitude
 foundGeocode.get(0).getLongitude();//getting longitude
