Reverse Geocoding: Designing Map Gesture Events in Kotlin and Android

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been writing tutorials around Kotlin and Android that make use of the various HERE APIs. Remember, Java isn’t the only way to develop for Android, and it may not be the most popular in the near future.

In the last tutorial, we saw how to geocode addresses and display them on a map using Kotlin. This is great for showing markers or other points of interest, but what if we want to know an address based on where the user taps on the map? How do you even determine coordinate information from a tap event on a screen?
