Working with android project and i got a problem on customized overlay class i cannot get the putextra values from the previous class to this class it shows an error on getIntent()
method can any one help to fix this error here is my code..

super(boundCenterBottom(defaultMarker));

this(defaultMarker);
this.context = context;
}
#Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event, MapView mapView)
{
if (event.getAction() == 1) {
GeoPoint geopoint = mapView.getProjection().fromPixels(
(int) event.getX(),
(int) event.getY());
// latitude
double lat = geopoint.getLatitudeE6() / 1E6;
// longitude
double lon = geopoint.getLongitudeE6() / 1E6;
//Toast.makeText(context, "Lat: " + lat + ", Lon: "+lon, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
return false;
}
#Override
protected OverlayItem createItem(int i) {
return mapOverlays.get(i);
}
#Override

return mapOverlays.size();
}

AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(this.context);
dialog.setTitle(item.getTitle());
dialog.setMessage(item.getSnippet());
dialog.setPositiveButton("Yes", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
Intent i = getIntent();
i.getStringExtra(place_reference);
Intent intent = new Intent(context, SinglePlaceActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(intent );
}
})
.setNegativeButton("No",new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog,int id) {
// if this button is clicked, just close
// the dialog box and do nothing
dialog.cancel();
// MainActivity.this.finish();
}
});
dialog.show();
return true;
}
public void addOverlay(OverlayItem overlay) {
mapOverlays.add(overlay);
}
public void populateNow(){
this.populate();
}
}
and this is my error which i found on my code
getIntent() is a method for Activity.
In your case, I would make the constructor like this:
private Activity activity;
public AddItemizedOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker, Context context, Activity a) {
this(defaultMarker);
this.context = context;
this.activity = a;
}
And then use activity.getIntent();
You need to pass the Activty to your AddItemizedOverlay. Then you can call
activity.getIntent();
I think it would be better to pass your place_reference to the constructor and save it as an instance variable, instead of the whole activity. Obviuosly, this would be better when you only need one extra string, that too when it is used only once in this class. You can try:
String place_reference;
public AddItemizedOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker, String place_reference) {
this(defaultMarker);
this.place_reference = place_reference;
}
// and then use place_reference any where you need
write like
Intent i= context.getIntent();
as your class holding this intent is an inner class.

I have been using a previous question and a Google Tutorial to attempt to add multiple pin images on a Google Map view when the current location of the user changes.
Each pin when tapped displays the Longitude and Latitude of the pin.
However currently my code only displays one pin and does not add another image when the location of the user changes. I am relatively new to Android and can't see why this code wouldn't work?

u need implements class LocationListener for listen our location changes and update on the map.
class LocationsListeners implements LocationListener {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
setLAT(location.getLatitude());
setLON(location.getLongitude());
setGeoPoint(lat, lon);
mapOverlays.add(geoPoint);
}
#Override
public void onProviderDisabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
}
u need method for calc the GeoPoint:
public GeoPoint setGeoPoint(double lat, double lon){
geoPoint = new GeoPoint((int) (lat * 1E6), (int)(lon * 1E6));
return geoPoint;
}
or using Little Fluffy Location - Its library that updates our location and notify u, is broadcast receiver, very simple and fast implementation:

and got an error as follows
use Context to start the activity.
Intent intent = new Intent(context, RosettaActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
context.startActivity(intent);
the first parameter of the new Intent(Context, Class)" should be a context object, is the AddItemizedOverlay derived from Context?

Less efforts on search..
Anyway look at Google Driving Directions - MapView overlayed Also The Google Directions API
and using intent
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=xx.xx,xx.xx&daddr=xx.xx,xx.xx"));
startActivity(intent);
This blogpost can be a good startpoint: Android driving direction Route-Path
Worked fine for me.

Hello, MapView! tutorial covers showing markers on MapView. In the tutorial markers are added as soon as the activity starts, but you can also add markers at later time, for example, when user touches screen. If you try this approach, you'll likely want to override onTap in your subclass of ItemizedOverlay.
Update:
If you follow the tutorial, you'll have your own subclass of ItemizedOverlay. onTap is one of its methods. Now that I look at the documentation, unfortunately onTap(GeoPoint p, MapView mapView) is not public or protected so you cannot override it.
What you can do, is have another overlay, solely for detecting taps. Instead of subclassing ItemizedOverlay, subclass Overlay.
private class TapOverlay extends Overlay {
public boolean onTap(GeoPoint p, MapView mapView) {
// code that adds item in your ItemizedOverlay
// goes here
return true;
}
}
I have successfully completed 5 of the android developers tutorials but I am having a problem with the Google Maps tutorial. I have entered the code letter for letter and ctrl+shift+o to import all the packages and I am still getting an error that mContext cannot be resolved. I'm sure its something simple, I've just been staring at the screen too long to see it.

mOverlays.add(overlay);
populate();
