Get the addresses and pass this list in an String array in extras to a new list activity</p> <blockquote> <p>Because what i wish to do is that 5best nearest location which i get from distance.To()</p> </blockquote> <p>Once you get these locations, You can send it in a String of the format </p> <p>String topFive = "lat1,lon1 lat2,lon2 lat3,lon3 ..." </p> <pre><code>Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), YourListActivity.class); intent.putExtra("TOP_FIVE_LOCATIONS", topFive ); startActivity(intent) </code></pre> <p>In the <code>onCreate()</code> of <code>YourListActivity.java</code></p> <pre><code>String topFive = getIntent().getStringExtra("TOP_FIVE_LOCATIONS"); </code></pre> <p>Now split this string using <code>String.split(" ")</code> and you will have an String [] of locations.
