Well, I think you don't really need to complicate things and rely on Skobbler for this, you can use the Android native geocoding API. The results are pretty accurate.

Note that the following runs on the UI thread, you may want to put it on an AsyncTask or whatever.

private void geocode (String address) {
    String baseUrl          = "";
    String [] splitAddress  = address.split ("[,\\s\\-:\\?]");
    for (int i = 0; i < splitAddress.length; i++) {
        if (i != 0) {
            baseUrl += "+";
        }
        baseUrl += splitAddress [i];
    }
    if (NetUtils.isOnline (MyActivity.this)) {
        Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder (MyActivity.this);
        try {
            ProgressView.show (MyActivity.this, true);
            List<Address> addresses = geocoder.getFromLocationName (baseUrl, 1);
            if (addresses != null && addresses.size() > 0) {
                Address addressResult = addresses.get (0);

                Log.e (MyActivity.this.class.getSimpleName () + " -- Address Found", address + " : " + addressResult.getLatitude () +  " : " + addressResult.getLongitude());

                launchRouteCalculation (addressResult.getLatitude (), addressResult.getLongitude ());
            } else {
                PopupUtils.show (MyActivity.this, null, "Could not find the destination.");
            }
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        } finally {
            ProgressView.dismiss ();
        }
    }

Right now the SDK offers 2 ways of searching:

If I understand correctly you are looking for a "one line search" component (type your query in one line and Enter) - this is something that the SDK doesn't currently expose (we are working on it and in November we should have new developments regarding this).
