get latitude and longitude from android.location.Address

The result returned from Geocoder.getFromLocationName() is a List of android.location.Address object. To retrieve the latitude and longitude of the selected item's Address, getLatitude() and getLongitude() methods can be used.

Further work on last post, Display address from Geocoder.getFromLocationName() in a ListView. Implement listviewResultOnItemClickListener of OnItemClickListener to handle the item click event, and display the location (latitude and longitude) in Toast.
