How to find address by name of location (android google map)

Question

Currently I am developing an android applicaiton. From my collection data, I have a list of location ( not address)- only name of location ( such as name of restaurant, resort, beach...), I want to find address of each location on Google Map API as the below image:

How I can do it ?

I appreciate your help in this case. Thanks.

I'm also looking for a way to do it but I only find the solution to get Latitude or Longitude from specific address or in contrast.

I implemented as the below code but not result can be returned :(

    Geocoder coder = new Geocoder(this);
    List<Address> address;
    try {
    String locationName = "Nhà hàng Blanchy Street, VietNam";
    Geocoder gc = new Geocoder(this);
    List<Address> addressList = coder.getFromLocationName(locationName, 5);
    Address location = addressList.get(0);

    double latitude = location.getLatitude();
    double longitude = location.getLongitude();

        LatLng sydney = new LatLng(latitude , longitude );
        map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
        map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(sydney, 13));

There is a Geocoder class, which you can use to find the address by location name String. The method is

Geocoder gc = new Geocoder(context);
List<Address> addresses = gc.getFromLocationName(String locationName, int maxResults);

This will give you a list of Address objects. Address has methods getLongitude() and getLatitude(), among others.

And since your map is embedded, the GoogleMap class has a method moveCamera(...) to go the location, if any is found with your location name.

For example:

String locationName = "Nha Hang restaurant";
Geocoder gc = new Geocoder(context);
List<Address> addressList = gc.getFromLocationName(locationName, 5);

Then either use the Address or get the longitude and latitude to create CameraUpdate with CameraUpdateFactory. With this try the moveCamera(...) if you wish.
