Android - How to get Google Places data using String address instead of the Place ID?

Is there a way to get the Google Places data (like longitude, latitude, ratings, name, phone number, etc) using just the given address?

Cause i have a long list, like a really long list of address. And i need to get that address to be pointed on a Google Map and in order for me to do so, i need to get does information first from Google.

You can use the Android Autocomplete or Geocoding Web Service APIs to do this

You can get latitude and longitude by address. Your code.

public GeoPoint getLocationFromAddress(String strAddress){

Geocoder coder = new Geocoder(this);
List<Address> address;
GeoPoint p1 = null;

try {
    address = coder.getFromLocationName(strAddress,5);
    if (address==null) {
       return null;
    }
    Address location=address.get(0);
    location.getLatitude();
    location.getLongitude();

p1 = new GeoPoint((double) (location.getLatitude() * 1E6),
                  (double) (location.getLongitude() * 1E6));

return p1;
}
}

You have to add the Places library to your project.

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-places:+.'
