Add Marker function with Google Maps API v2 android

Questions

I m using the new function addMarker googlemaps api for android.

map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
        .position(new LatLng(40.417325, 40.417325))
        .title("Hello!"));

works great, but my question is, how I can place the marker indicating a search string instead of indicating the parameters of longitude and latitude?

something like:

"virgen de lujan 42, seville, spain"

Answers

You would have to find the latitude and longitude associated with that "search string", using geocoding. There is a Geocoder class in Android and a variety of other geocoding Web services available to you.
