title: How can I highlight a region on Google Maps in Android?
body: <p>When I type name of a region in <a href="https://www.google.co.in/maps" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.google.co.in/maps</a> a polygon is displayed on the website. I want to do the same in my app. Is there any way that could help draw a polygon with the region name provided as done in the website? Please refer the below image to understand what I am trying to ask. Thanks a lot for listening.</p>

  <p><strong>Edit:</strong>
  I forgot to mention what I know already and what I have tried. I know that I can draw a Polygon on Google Map by providing co-ordinates (Latitudes, Longitudes) to PolygonOptions. I know how to add a Google Map in an Android App, and I was successfully able to draw a polygon on the map. </p>
  
  <p><strong>But, what I am trying to ask here is that, is there any way to get the latitudes and longitudes for a region as done in Google Maps Website. And for that I have shared an image as well.</strong>
  Please help if anybody has achieved this. Thanks again for listening.</p>
