Get GeoPoint from Press on Screen

GSauers — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 14:14:51 GMT

I am trying to get the longitude and latitude of a point I mark on my map with a long press. Currently on a long press I get an icon to display where I press on the map using a MapPoint, but I want to get and display the Geo location of the point. Below is some of the code I use for handling a long press:

public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e){
Point p = mapView.toMapPoint(new Point(e.getX(), e.getY()));

I than create a graphic and add it to the graphics layer. But using this information I need to convert the Point to a GeoPoint. Thank you in advance for any help.

Found the answer within another thread.

public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e){

Point geo = (Point) GeometryEngine.project(mapView.toMapPoint(e.getX(), e.getY()), mapView.getSpatialReference(), SpatialReference.create(4326));
double latitude = geo.getY();
double longitude = geo.getX();

Hope this helps others in the future.
