I am trying to add a button to my maps itemizedoverlay. Now i can draw an empty speech bubble using itemizedoverlay. But i want to add a button on it. I have tried to define that button as another overlay and add it to another geopoint and manage to make it seems like it is on the bubble. But when I zoom in or out, the location of the speech bubble and button change. I have tried to set them on the same geopoint. But after that the tap function of itemized overlay didn't run properly. I have checked a lot things such as https://github.com/jgilfelt/android-mapviewballoons. I am not allowed to use external library. So i need you help. Thanks in advance...

I'm wondering how to get the map to appear inside the CardView, like in the images below, highlighted in pink.
On the left is Strava, it shows the map with the route highilghted. On the right is Google Calendar, it has a map of the location of the calender event.
I would really appriciate some pointer on where to look in the apis to achieve this.
Regards,Luke
You need to use a MapView to achieve this.
This is part of Androids Lite Mode.
Create your card, and add the MapView inside the CardView.
Then in your onCreate(), you create the actual map and set the MapView to display that map.
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 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)
I'm using Polaris map library in my android app.
https://github.com/cyrilmottier/Polaris
I've Google Map with some geo points. I'm reading them from database. I've added two buttons on the map activity - "next" and "previous" to navigate between points.
mc.animateTo(geopoints.get(arrayID));
"arrayID" is the id of the next geo point and "mc" is map controller.
It works great but I want to add one more feature.
I want annotation to be visible by default while moving between points. After click on the "next" button I want to be moved to the next point on my map and it's annotation should be visible (not only after clicking on it).
Probably there is an easy way to do it.
I should probably do something with calloutView but I can't figure it out how to do that.
I made something like this. But it's not working properly.
MapCalloutView calloutView;
calloutView = new MapCalloutView(getApplicationContext());
calloutView.setDisclosureEnabled(true);
calloutView.setClickable(true); calloutView.setLeftAccessoryView(getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.accessory, calloutView, false));
calloutView.show(mMapView, geopoints.get(arrayID), false);
calloutView.setData(annotations.get(arrayID));
It is showing me bubble but it creates new calloutView which is wrong I think. For example Polaris listeners are not working. I can't deselect callout etc...
My mistake! It was so easy...
I don't need to play with MapcalloutView in Polaris.
mMapView.setSelectedAnnotation(arrayID);
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 ;)
