How to get position of a Marker moved by a User Google Maps API V2

Hi, So I place a marker and have a user move it. I then try and get the position of that Marker

I use the following code

LatLng StartingPosition = mSpecificMarker.getPosition();

But, StartingPosition always returns to me the value initially assigned to the Marker Position, Not the new position once the marker is dragged.

Nevermind I figured it out, the very next attempt after putting up this question.

For anyone who might be interested, the trick is to set an OnDraggableListener and inside the listener do the getPosition Command. Like as folllows

mMap.setOnMarkerDragListener(new GoogleMap.OnMarkerDragListener() { @Override public void onMarkerDragStart(Marker marker) { mSpecificMarker.getPosition(); mCityMarker.getPosition(); }
