Checkin feature in facebook android sdk

I would like to create an application on android which implement checkin feature. I read api reference for facebook api several times already and basically I am clueless. I understand that simply I do need to issue a POST request to facebook graph api server like this one:

curl -F 'access_token=...' \
 -F 'message=The coffee is just meh.' \
 -F 'place=PAGE_ID' \
 -F 'coordinates={"latitude":"...", "longitude": "..."}' \
 -F 'tags=USER_ID1, USER_ID2' \
 https://graph.facebook.com/me/checkins

However I have no idea how to get those place[page_id] or coordinates[long and lat]. Question is if I have a name of place I want to check in, how could i search for its place[page_id] and how to get those coordinates?
