Add marker to map on tap

I'm coding an application using osmdroid to show a map and i would like to add a marker to it when user taps over map, actually i have been able to do this usin motion event but this adds a marker even when user is zooming in or out the map i don't want this.
This is the code i have to add the marker:
#Override
public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
int actionType = ev.getAction();
switch (actionType) {
case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
Projection proj = myOpenMapView.getProjection();
GeoPoint loc = (GeoPoint) proj.fromPixels((int)ev.getX(), (int)ev.getY());
String longitude = Double.toString(((double)loc.getLongitudeE6())/1000000);
String latitude = Double.toString(((double)loc.getLatitudeE6())/1000000);
List<OverlayItem> anotherOverlayItemArray = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
ExtendedOverlayItem mapItem = new ExtendedOverlayItem("", "", new GeoPoint((((double)loc.getLatitudeE6())/1000000), (((double)loc.getLongitudeE6())/1000000)), this);
mapItem.setMarker(this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.marker));
anotherOverlayItemArray.add(mapItem);
ItemizedIconOverlay<OverlayItem> anotherItemizedIconOverlay
= new ItemizedIconOverlay<OverlayItem>(
this, anotherOverlayItemArray, null);
myOpenMapView.getOverlays().add(anotherItemizedIconOverlay);
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Longitude: "+ longitude +" Latitude: "+ latitude , Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
}
return super.dispatchTouchEvent(ev);
}
This is how i finally solved it:
Overlay touchOverlay = new Overlay(this){
ItemizedIconOverlay<OverlayItem> anotherItemizedIconOverlay = null;
#Override
protected void draw(Canvas arg0, MapView arg1, boolean arg2) {
}
#Override
public boolean onSingleTapConfirmed(final MotionEvent e, final MapView mapView) {
Projection proj = mapView.getProjection();
GeoPoint loc = (GeoPoint) proj.fromPixels((int)e.getX(), (int)e.getY());
longitude = Double.toString(((double)loc.getLongitudeE6())/1000000);
latitude = Double.toString(((double)loc.getLatitudeE6())/1000000);
ArrayList<OverlayItem> overlayArray = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
OverlayItem mapItem = new OverlayItem("", "", new GeoPoint((((double)loc.getLatitudeE6())/1000000), (((double)loc.getLongitudeE6())/1000000)));
mapItem.setMarker(marker);
overlayArray.add(mapItem);
if(anotherItemizedIconOverlay==null){
anotherItemizedIconOverlay = new ItemizedIconOverlay<OverlayItem>(getApplicationContext(), overlayArray,null);
myOpenMapView.getOverlays().add(anotherItemizedIconOverlay);
myOpenMapView.invalidate();
}else{
myOpenMapView.getOverlays().remove(anotherItemizedIconOverlay);
myOpenMapView.invalidate();
anotherItemizedIconOverlay = new ItemizedIconOverlay<OverlayItem>(getApplicationContext(), overlayArray,null);
myOpenMapView.getOverlays().add(anotherItemizedIconOverlay);
}
dlgThread();
return true;
}
};
myOpenMapView.getOverlays().add(touchOverlay);

You should create an Overlay and override the onSingleTapConfirmed() method to get single-taps:
#Override
public boolean onSingleTapConfirmed(final MotionEvent event, final MapView mapView) {
// Handle single-tap here, then return true.
return true;
}

Retrieve location from database and display it in a MapView

I have an application where I fetch longitude and latitude from my database and want to display it in a MapView. I am able to show the one stored most recently, but I think some array is needed in a for loop to add it in an overlay. I don't know how to implement it though.
Here is my buttonClick on which it will fetch lat/long and display it in a MapView:
buttonShowMarkers = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button_SHOW_MARKERS);
buttonShowMarkers.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
try {
db = openOrCreateDatabase("LocationFetch.db", MODE_PRIVATE , null);
cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM user" , null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
do {
int dataID = cursor.getColumnIndex("id");
String dataString = cursor.getString(0);
Log.d("ID DATA FROM DATABASE---->" , dataString);
String dataNAME = cursor.getString(1).toString().trim();
Log.d("NAME DATA FROM DATABASE---->", dataNAME);
String dataLAT = cursor.getString(2).toString().trim();
Log.d("LAT DATA FROM DATABASE----->" , dataLAT);
int latitude = cursor.getColumnIndex("latitude");
String dataLON = cursor.getString(3).toString().trim();
Log.d("LON DATA FROM DATABASE----->" , dataLON);
int longitude = cursor.getColumnIndex("longitude");
showLatLon(latitude , longitude , dataNAME);
// ArrayList<OverlayItem> items = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
/* List<Overlay> ListOverlays = mapView.getOverlays();
* OverlayItem[] markerItem = {new OverlayItem(new GeoPoint(latitude, longitude) , ""+dataNAME , ""+dataString)};
* OverlayItem markerItem = new OverlayItem(new GeoPoint((int)(latitude *1E6), (int)(longitude *1E6)) , ""+dataNAME , ""+dataString);
* drawableOne = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.location_blue);
* helloItemizedOverlay = new HelloItemizedOverlay(drawableOne);
* helloItemizedOverlay.addOverlayItem(markerItem);
* mapView.getOverlays().add(helloItemizedOverlay);
* ListOverlays.add(myItemizedOverlay);*/
//for(int i = dataID ; )
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
/*String[] arrLat = new String[]{LATdata};
String[] arrLon = new String[]{LONdata};*/
//showLatLon(dataLAT , dataLON);
cursor.moveToNext();
} catch(SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
cursor.close();
}
db.close();
}
private void showLatLon(int latitude , int longitude , String nAMEdata) {
// GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint( (latitude) , (latitude) );
List<Overlay> ListOverlays = mapView.getOverlays();
//OverlayItem[] markerItem = {new OverlayItem(new GeoPoint(latitude, longitude) , ""+dataNAME , ""+dataString)};
OverlayItem markerItem = new OverlayItem(new GeoPoint(latitude,latitude ) , ""+nAMEdata , null);
drawableOne = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.location_blue);
helloItemizedOverlay = new HelloItemizedOverlay(drawableOne);
helloItemizedOverlay.addOverlayItem(markerItem);
mapView.getOverlays().add(helloItemizedOverlay);
ListOverlays.add(myItemizedOverlay);
}
});

You can try using this solution -
Create a class named LatLonPoint - this basically does the conversion from latlon to GeoPoint -
public class LatLonPoint extends GeoPoint {
public LatLonPoint(double latitude, double longitude) {
super((int) (latitude * 1E6), (int) (longitude * 1E6));
}
}
Create a Itemized Overlay -
public class HelloItemizedOverlay extends ItemizedOverlay<OverlayItem> {
private ArrayList<OverlayItem> mOverlays = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
private Context mContext;
public HelloItemizedOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker, Context context) {
super(boundCenterBottom(defaultMarker));
mContext = context;
}
public void addOverlay(OverlayItem overlay) {
mOverlays.add(overlay);
populate();
}
#Override
protected OverlayItem createItem(int i) {
return mOverlays.get(i);
}
#Override
public int size() {
return mOverlays.size();
}
#Override
protected boolean onTap(int index) {
OverlayItem item = mOverlays.get(index);
AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
dialog.setTitle(item.getTitle());
dialog.setMessage(item.getSnippet());
dialog.show();
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onKeyDown(int keyCode, KeyEvent event, MapView mapView) {
if (keyCode == KeyEvent.KEYCODE_BACK) {
}
return super.onKeyDown(keyCode, event, mapView);
}
}
Now in the main activity -
try {
db = openOrCreateDatabase("LocationFetch.db", MODE_PRIVATE , null);
cursor = db.rawQuery("SELECT * FROM user" , null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
do {
int dataID = cursor.getColumnIndex("id");
String dataString = cursor.getString(0);
Log.d("ID DATA FROM DATABASE---->" , dataString);
String dataNAME = cursor.getString(1).toString().trim();
Log.d("NAME DATA FROM DATABASE---->", dataNAME);
String dataLAT = cursor.getString(2).toString().trim();
Log.d("LAT DATA FROM DATABASE----->" , dataLAT);
int latitude = cursor.getColumnIndex("latitude");
String dataLON = cursor.getString(3).toString().trim();
Log.d("LON DATA FROM DATABASE----->" , dataLON);
int longitude = cursor.getColumnIndex("longitude");
// Add the item here --
itemizedoverlay.addOverlay(new OverlayItem(new LatLonPoint(latitude, longitude), dataNAME, null));
//showLatLon(latitude , longitude , dataNAME);
// ArrayList<OverlayItem> items = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
/* List<Overlay> ListOverlays = mapView.getOverlays();
* OverlayItem[] markerItem = {new OverlayItem(new GeoPoint(latitude, longitude) , ""+dataNAME , ""+dataString)};
* OverlayItem markerItem = new OverlayItem(new GeoPoint((int)(latitude *1E6), (int)(longitude *1E6)) , ""+dataNAME , ""+dataString);
* drawableOne = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.location_blue);
* helloItemizedOverlay = new HelloItemizedOverlay(drawableOne);
* helloItemizedOverlay.addOverlayItem(markerItem);
* mapView.getOverlays().add(helloItemizedOverlay);
* ListOverlays.add(myItemizedOverlay);*/
//for(int i = dataID ; )
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
// Add all itemized overlay here
mapOverlays.add(itemizedoverlay);
/*String[] arrLat = new String[]{LATdata};
String[] arrLon = new String[]{LONdata};*/
//showLatLon(dataLAT , dataLON);
//cursor.moveToNext();
} catch(SQLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
cursor.close();
}
For the above block you have to initialize these two items beffore the do.. while -
List<Overlay> mapOverlays = mMapView.getOverlays();
and
HelloItemizedOverlay itemizedoverlay = new HelloItemizedOverlay(
drawable, this);
EDIT-- Adding iterating Cursor Part -
Drawable drawable = this.getResources().getDrawable(
R.drawable.ic_launcher);
List<Overlay> mapOverlays = mMapView.getOverlays();
HelloItemizedOverlay itemizedoverlay = new HelloItemizedOverlay(
drawable, this);
while(cursor.moveToNext())
{
// get the values --
int dataID = cursor.getColumnIndex("id");
String dataString = cursor.getString(0);
Log.d("ID DATA FROM DATABASE---->" , dataString);
String dataNAME = cursor.getString(1).toString().trim();
Log.d("NAME DATA FROM DATABASE---->", dataNAME);
String dataLAT = cursor.getString(2).toString().trim();
Log.d("LAT DATA FROM DATABASE----->" , dataLAT);
int latitude = cursor.getColumnIndex("latitude");
String dataLON = cursor.getString(3).toString().trim();
Log.d("LON DATA FROM DATABASE----->" , dataLON);
int longitude = cursor.getColumnIndex("longitude");
// Assuming your logic for retrieving values is correct
// Add into the itemized Overlay here
itemizedoverlay.addOverlay(new OverlayItem(new LatLonPoint(latitude, longitude), dataNAME, null));
}
mapOverlays.add(itemizedoverlay);

Update
The problem resolved. Here is the fix:
try {

{
OverlayItem overlayitem1 = new OverlayItem(geoL.get(i), Selectedword + "s found! " , "It's withing " + selectedDistance + " To your position");
itemizedoverlay.addOverlay(overlayitem1);
listOfOverlays.add(itemizedoverlay);
}
//mc.animateTo(geoL.get(1));
mc.setCenter(new GeoPoint((int) (1E6 * gps.getLatitude() ), (int) (1E6 * gps.getLongitude() ))); // Some where .
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ExecutionException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {}

Your issue is that mapView is null, you haven't called initMap() yet. This causes mapView.getOverlays().add(itemizedOverlay ); to fail.

as you have only to variable to pass so use intent and pass the data ......and i think you have rest of code writen
put in the JSONActivity from where you want to open mapActivity and you alos have the variable latitude and longitude with their values
Intent i= new Intent(getApplicationContext(), mapActivity.class);
i.putExtra("lattitude",lattitude);
i.putExtra("longitude",longitude);
startActivity(i);
Then in the new activity mapActivity, retrieve those values:
inplace of this put String coordinates[] = {"5.550381", "95.318699"};
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if(extras !=null) {
String lattitude= extras.getString("lattitude");
String longitude= extras.getString("longitude");
double lat = Double.parseDouble(lattitude);
double lng = Double.parseDouble(longitude);
}

How to draw a path on a map using kml file?

Can I parse kml file in order to display paths or points in Android? Please could you help me with that?
This is kml sample code which I would like to display in android google map:

<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2">

<name>Paths</name>
<description>Examples of paths. Note that the tessellate tag is by default
set to 0. If you want to create tessellated lines, they must be authored
(or edited) directly in KML.</description>

When I'm loading this file to standard web google map it displays it nicely but when I'm trying the same thing with android google map it doesn't do that. It just takes me to some locations and that's it. I was thinking of changing listener class. Currently it looks like that:
private class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener
{
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location loc) {
if (loc != null) {
latitude = (loc.getLatitude() * 1E6);
longitude = (loc.getLongitude() * 1E6);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
"Location changed : Lat: " + latitude +
" Lng: " + longitude,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
GeoPoint p = new GeoPoint(
(int) (loc.getLatitude() * 1E6),
(int) (loc.getLongitude() * 1E6));
mc.animateTo(p);
mapView.invalidate();
}
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------
#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
}
Please can someone tell me what's I'm doing wrong here?

In above code, you don't pass the kml data to your mapView anywhere in your code, as far as I can see.
To display the route, you should parse the kml data i.e. via SAX parser, then display the route markers on the map.
See the code below for an example, but it's not complete though - just for you as a reference and get some idea.
This is a simple bean I use to hold the route information I will be parsing.
package com.myapp.android.model.navigation;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Iterator;
public class NavigationDataSet {
private ArrayList<Placemark> placemarks = new ArrayList<Placemark>();
private Placemark currentPlacemark;
private Placemark routePlacemark;
public String toString() {
String s= "";
for (Iterator<Placemark> iter=placemarks.iterator();iter.hasNext();) {
Placemark p = (Placemark)iter.next();
s += p.getTitle() + "\n" + p.getDescription() + "\n\n";
}
return s;
}
public void addCurrentPlacemark() {
placemarks.add(currentPlacemark);
}
public ArrayList<Placemark> getPlacemarks() {
return placemarks;
}
public void setPlacemarks(ArrayList<Placemark> placemarks) {
this.placemarks = placemarks;
}
public Placemark getCurrentPlacemark() {
return currentPlacemark;
}
public void setCurrentPlacemark(Placemark currentPlacemark) {
this.currentPlacemark = currentPlacemark;
}
public Placemark getRoutePlacemark() {
return routePlacemark;
}
public void setRoutePlacemark(Placemark routePlacemark) {
this.routePlacemark = routePlacemark;
}
}
And the SAX Handler to parse the kml:
package com.myapp.android.model.navigation;
import android.util.Log;
import com.myapp.android.myapp;
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;

There is now a beta available of Google Maps KML Importing Utility.
It is part of the Google Maps Android API Utility Library. As documented it allows loading KML files from streams
KmlLayer layer = new KmlLayer(getMap(), kmlInputStream, getApplicationContext());
or local resources
KmlLayer layer = new KmlLayer(getMap(), R.raw.kmlFile, getApplicationContext());
After you have created a KmlLayer, call addLayerToMap() to add the imported data onto the map.
layer.addLayerToMap();

Mathias Lin code working beautifully. However, you might want to consider changing this part inside drawPath method:
if (lngLat.length >= 2 && gp1.getLatitudeE6() > 0 && gp1.getLongitudeE6() > 0
&& gp2.getLatitudeE6() > 0 && gp2.getLongitudeE6() > 0) {
GeoPoint can be less than zero as well, I switch mine to:
if (lngLat.length >= 2 && gp1.getLatitudeE6() != 0 && gp1.getLongitudeE6() != 0
&& gp2.getLatitudeE6() != 0 && gp2.getLongitudeE6() != 0) {
Thank you :D
