Android tap on map and get coordinates

Issue

I am trying to make an app that once the user taps on a map it gets the coordinates of that specific point.

Among others I have also read that: Get coordinates on tapping map in android

It seems like the most relevant post but what I want to do is to be able to tap anywhere on the map not on an marker/overlay item. In fact I want to create a marker in that specific point that the user tapped and get the coordinates of it.

Is that possible?

Solution

Yes. In fact, the answer I gave in that other question is what you need.
