for that first you have to ask user to select a city then use Geocoder class to find lat and lng of a city use following code

    MapController mControl;
    MapView mapView;
     mapView= (MapView) findViewById(R.id.navView)
     mControl = mapView.getController();
     mControl.animateTo(GeoP); //GeoP is the geopoint of your city

There is a good class for that purpose called Geocoder

Here is the reference

You can just use method 

getFromLocationName("My Particular city", ...)

and obtain list of locations that match it. First one is usually the one you need.

I guess, this is the only way. Very useful though. :)

Hope, it helped!)

Here, We need to do RND for each city, what is the latitude & longitude for each city. so for to find latitude & long. for each city no need to go there and check what is the lat. long., The simple way to do is Find coordinates by moving around the map. So After getting all lat. long. for each city. Use this lat. & long. to display map according to the user selection of city. So it will display particular area. So check following code how to use latitude & longitude to display map.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            intent.setData(Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=" + ("40.7890011, -124.1719112")));
            try {
                startActivity(intent);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

Hope this will help you. Thanks

You can Open Map via intent.

String uri = "geo:"+ latitude + "," + longitude;
startActivity(new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri)));

// You can also choose to place a point like so:
String uri = "geo:"+ latitude + "," + longitude + "?q=my+street+address";
startActivity(new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri)));

/*
* The Possible Query params options are the following:
*
* Show map at location: geo:latitude,longitude
* Show zoomed map at location: geo:latitude,longitude?z=zoom
* Show map at locaiton with point: geo:0,0?q=my+street+address
* Show map of businesses in area: geo:0,0?q=business+near+city
