android get latitude and longitude from input location

Question

I have an EditText where location is typed and when the Button is clicked the loaction name is bundled and sent via intent to Details Activity where it receives the location name and gets the latitude and longitude by using Geocoder.But when I try to display it on map unfortunately I am getting a RunTimeException.Below is the code.Is that the correct way to get the latitude and longitude of a place.Please help me. I am new to Google maps.

MainActivity.java:

   public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity  {
     AutoCompleteTextView textView;
      ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter; 
        @Override
        protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
            Log.e("MainActivity:","Started");
            List l = new ArrayList();
            l.add("New Delhi");
            l.add("Mumbai");
            l.add("Chennai");
            l.add("Bangalore");
            Toolbar toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
            setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
            getSupportActionBar().setTitle("Destination");

            AutoCompleteTextView textView = (AutoCompleteTextView) findViewById(R.id.autocomplete);
           arrayAdapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,l);
            textView.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);
            final Bundle bundle =new Bundle();
            bundle.putString("places",textView.getText().toString());


            Button button1 = (Button) findViewById(R.id.enter);
            button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    Intent intent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(),      Details.class);
                    intent.putExtras(bundle);
                    startActivity(intent);
                }
            });

        }}

Answer 1

In your code destination empty because you passed places.

  bundle.putString("places",textView.getText().toString());

but received

  destination= bundle.getString("place");
  //change into places.

change like as

 destination= bundle.getString("places");

Before Pass string check textView.getText().toString() is not empty.

Answer 2

As in Log:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: locationName == null

Because destination String is empty which getting from getIntent().

Add places key in Bundle with textView.getText() value on Click of Button as:

 bundle.putString("places",textView.getText().toString());
 intent.putExtras(bundle);

Also use same key for getting same key for getting value in Details Activity which is used in previous Activity.
