I have an image in a custom imageview, which is a layout of a building. I need to add buttons(or markers like in google maps) in few places on the image with a longclick or drag and drop a button from the top of the screen. How the button(or marker) comes doesnt matter, but the main problem is im unable to get it on top of an image. I want it just like a marker on google map, should be able to perform onclick and onlongclick operations. Should even be able to delete it. After that i need to save my image with those buttons i added in order to load it the next time my app launches, just like my saved places in google maps.
Can anyone please suggest me a best way to do it. I am new to android and I am sorry if the same question has already been asked, I would appreciate if u can give me a link to it.
Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to make a button that will open a map (GPS) that will show you a specific place.
I have no idea how to open a map through libGDX, if someone knows anything like that please answer me.
At first you should think a bit more about your project.
I suggest also that you split your main goal in smaller parts.
Instead of creating a button which opens a map.
Create a Button
Create a ClickListener
What kind of a map do you want do show?
Decide if it's a map file or your current position on a map.
And then you'll know what you need. And then you can google.
Good Luck!
I have to add multiple markers on map , and show their info windows at the same time .
When i add the last marker the previous info window markers automatically gets hidden.Can anyone tell me any solution how can i do this?
That is not possible with InfoWindows as noted by the 2nd sentence on this page. You might try using this library to instead put the text you would be displaying in the InfoWindow in the Marker itself. Be careful with showing too much information on the screen at once, don't want it to get too busy!
i want to do the following. I am having a google map that displays my position. I have created separately a compass. Now what I want is to combine them and put the compass on top of my map. I do not know where to start for it, and how I skould implement it since data of te compass are also being updated every second I move?
If you have any tutorials please give me link cause I have not been able to find any.
In my previous app I have used a class extending Overlay but this was for only putting a pin or something like this.
You may add the image as a custom control: example (it's the home-button in the example)
Recently I show the ubicabs taxi booking app. I found very nice functionality inside it. In this app they have google maps for showing markers, but they have used very good UI component for that. Also I found one more uniqueness is that whenever user moves or change the position of marker through touch it will fetch the current location. One thing that I know is that it is using the onTouchEvent of Overlay but how to create that marker balloon and how to get updated location on the basis of that marker.
I am attaching a preview of that marker here. Also would like to know that how can we scroll the text inside that balloon?
The best overlay open project I have found so far is this one, link. But it is nothing compared to the picture above. Would also like to know how they created this! Great Question and picture ;)
I’m new to development, specifically Android. Through tutorials, I’ve managed to display a map with a marker for a building that displays a “toast” box with text identifying that building, when tapped (I fashioned it after the “Noo Yawk” example). I need to display a new full screen with a photo of that building and text describing it, and use the back button to return to the map. I need to do this for at least 30 buildings.
Do I need to start a new activity for each building? It would seem complicated and resource intensive. If so, where will the photo and text reside? Do I need to have a button in the layout to call the map again? Or is there a simpler way to do this? Given the number of buildings, will content management or a database be required?
Thanks in advance and forgive my ignorance. I’ve parsed so many articles and tutorials that I’m becoming confused.
I would just show Dialog with ImageView (photo), TextView (information) and Button (to close Dialog).
Android dialog Screen Example
I think it would be better to keep photo and info inside database and pass them into Dialog before show.
You can display any view on top of the view. Add marker to your map and listen for onClick events on your marker. (see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/GoogleMap.OnMarkerClickListener)
Within the onClick event you show a view on top of the map.
Do not try to use the InfoWindows of the Maps API as the InfoWindows are rendered as an image and not as a live view. Therefor async loading of your images is not possible with InfoWindows.
