TextView tvLocInfo;

@Override

myMap = myMapFragment.getMap();

myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);

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;

LicenseDialog.setTitle("Legal Notices");
LicenseDialog.setMessage(LicenseInfo);
LicenseDialog.show();
return true;
}

int resultCode = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getApplicationContext());

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

}

@Override
public void onMapLongClick(LatLng point) {

CircleOptions circleOptions = new CircleOptions()
