Google Maps Android API v2 example detect long click on map and add marker

TO detect onMapLongClick, implement OnMapLongClickListener and call myMap.setOnMapLongClickListener(this) to register. Override onMapLongClick(LatLng point) to add marker by calling myMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(point).title("title")).

package com.example.androidmapsv2;

import com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult;
import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.OnMapLongClickListener;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
//import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.location.Location;
import android.os.Bundle;
//import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
//import android.support.v4.app.FragmentManager;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity 
 implements OnMapClickListener, OnMapLongClickListener{
 
 final int RQS_GooglePlayServices = 1;
 private GoogleMap myMap;
 
 Location myLocation;
 TextView tvLocInfo;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  
  tvLocInfo = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.locinfo);
  
  FragmentManager myFragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
  MapFragment myMapFragment 
   = (MapFragment)myFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
  myMap = myMapFragment.getMap();
  
  myMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
  
  myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
  //myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);
  //myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE);
  //myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_TERRAIN);
  
  myMap.setOnMapClickListener(this);
  myMap.setOnMapLongClickListener(this);

 }
 
 @Override
 public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
  // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
  getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
  return true;
 }

 @Override
 public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
  switch (item.getItemId()) {
     case R.id.menu_legalnotices:
      String LicenseInfo = GooglePlayServicesUtil.getOpenSourceSoftwareLicenseInfo(
        getApplicationContext());
      AlertDialog.Builder LicenseDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
      LicenseDialog.setTitle("Legal Notices");
      LicenseDialog.setMessage(LicenseInfo);
      LicenseDialog.show();
         return true;
     }
  return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
 }

 @Override
 protected void onResume() {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub
  super.onResume();

  int resultCode = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getApplicationContext());
  
  if (resultCode == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS){
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), 
     "isGooglePlayServicesAvailable SUCCESS", 
     Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
  }else{
   GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(resultCode, this, RQS_GooglePlayServices);
  }
  
 }

 @Override
 public void onMapClick(LatLng point) {
  tvLocInfo.setText(point.toString());
  myMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(point));
 }

 @Override
 public void onMapLongClick(LatLng point) {
  tvLocInfo.setText("New marker added@" + point.toString());
  myMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(point).title(point.toString()));
 }

}
