   Thank you for solving such a lot of possibilities that can arise using Google maps. But is there any way by which I can get the locations shown by marker on the map to be also shown as a list?? This functionality was present in api v1.

     you must install “com.android.vending-19032013.apk” and “com.google.android.gms-19032013.apk” on your emulator (you can use genymotion’s emulator. it is very usefull). after you must get google key for android applications.
