title: How to convert string to location like google maps in android
body: <p>In Google maps or map quest or whatever mapping service website/app, we can usually put the address (which is in String format) and the website/app converts it to a location and show it to us on the map. My question is, how can I make it so that when the user puts in a string for their location(most likely a zip code), the app converts it to a location and then I can display a list of locations within a 50 mile radius from the user? </p>
