Trying to make an google maps overlay in an android program. Inside of my overlay's draw method, I have two ways of adding a pin. One of them works, and one does not. Unfortunately, the one that does not work is also the only one that has the ability to add a shadow!

I would like to put a bunch of dots on a google map, and have the appropriate listener called when one of them gets clicked.All i seem to be able to find is to get the location at which the click occurred, and then iterate through the dots until I find one that I think matches. Is there no listener for an arbitrary shape, like a drawable? I feel like this might be a Java question more so than android, but hopefully someone can still answer it.

_____
| |
______
/
Where the "/" part is the "pin" that marks the lat/lon on the map and a picture in the middle of it. My question is, is there any way to expand this when the user clicks on it? I'll of course have to change this to some kind of dialog or layout and change it when it gets clicked.
I want to have it smaller like that with just an image when not clicked on, but when it is clicked on it expands over like a second to:
--------------------------------------
| <image> <buttons> |
| <buttons> |
| <some info here> |
| |
--------------------------------------

Is this possible?
I've been stuck for ages now trying to implement threading or background image loading for a custom tile overlay class I've been working on. I'm pretty useless when it comes to Java so threading isn't something I've had any experience with. Basically I have extended an ItemizedOverlay and in the draw() method calculate the tiles I need to display over the standard google tiles then fetch those images with a URLConnection and using BitmapFactory decode them and draw them to the canvas at the correct position on the screen so that the images are on top of the google tiles with about 50% opacity (the custom tiles are cellphone network coverage png's which are used for our web app). I initially got this all working with the tiles loading in the correct places but hit issues with memory and "freezing" while panning so implemented some basic caching and memory management to only store the tiles that are displayed on the map in memory and when downloading a tile store it to SD card.
Then I figured the freezing while panning is due to the blocking nature of downloading the images so, have been trying to implement threading. I created a class that extends AsyncTask to download the images in the background and store them to SD, in the onPostExecute method I then try to draw all the tiles. But onPostExecute never seems to fire, now I know that the AsyncTask has to be called in the main ui thread so tried to debug the execution with Thread.currentThread().getId() calls through out the code. The thread Ids through out is 1 and then 10 for the doInBackground method for the AsyncTask. Now I'm not sure if 1 is the main UI thread or not. In the extended MapActivity class I have, the onCreate method's Thread.currentThread().getId() returns 1 but I'm not sure if the MapActivity class is executed in the main ui thread? Here Romain Guy mentions that the onPostExecute method should have @Override but when I do that eclipse flags it as an error
"The method onPostExecute(Boolean...) of type TileCache.ImageLoadTask must override or implement a supertype method"
So I guess something is wrong there but the only fix eclipse offers is to remove the @Override
So I guess with out post all my source code, the question's I have are:
Is the MapActivity onCreate method called in the main ui thread?
What does the @Override error mean? or why does it show that error
Does anyone have an example of a custom tile overlay implementation with background image loading and tile caching?
I am looking for a way to overlay a route in google maps.
What I want is to take this map Greenways Oak Ridge Google map and get it to my google My Maps. Then I can pull it up in Maps and use my location to see where I am in relation to where I need to be in case I want to take a different route to need to shorted the ride due to darkness.
Most rides I do I can find these maps but cant do anything with them.
I have an activity that has a button which opens a new MapActivity to select a location by tapping on the map.
The map has an overlay that overrides the onTap method to get the location but I want to return that location to the previous activity but, I don't know how to return the geopoint to the mapactivity in order to call the setResult() and finish() methods, because I can't call them from the Overlay.onTap method.
I am trying to create a map application and I need to do something similar to what Google Maps does. I want to open show a list of locations and when user taps on them I want to show a dialog.
I was able to do it till here. But now when the user clicks on the dialog that opened I want to show another acttivity with the details of that item that they clicked on.
I tried to start a new intent but it gives me an error.
Here is what I am doing
CODE:...................
Here is the stack trace E/AndroidRuntime( 4985): java.lang.RuntimeException:
Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.achie.test.mapssample/ com.achie.test.mapssample.ItemDetailView}:

Why am I getting this error and how can I resolve this and open a new activity?
Also where can I find the source code for the google maps on android?
I have a weather image I would like to use as an overlay in the google maps android api. I would like to achieve the same result that I get from using GroundOverlay in KML files, such as
<GroundOverlay>
<name>myimage</name>
<Icon>
<href>myimage.png</href>
<viewBoundScale>0.75</viewBoundScale>
</Icon>
<LatLonBox>
<north>75.6088</north>
<south>5.0121</south>
<east>182.2805</east>
<west>120.6795</west>
</LatLonBox>
/GroundOverlay>
The above will ensure that the 4 corners of my image stay anchored to the 4 lat/long points listed, regardless of scrolling, zooming etc. Is there a way to accomplish this using the google api / maps provided for android?
I can't figure out how to tell my Map to redraw its overlays once I've updated them. Currently the user has to touch the screen before the map is redrawn.

- I´m loading about 400 overlays in a mapview, but it takes 2-3 minutes. Is there any way to speed things up?
- On the other hand, I use another overlay to point device gps position, but when location point change i need to delete this overlay to put it again in it's new position. How can i delete this overlay without deleting all the others?
I have a google voice number and I have the friends and family plan on verizon. I currently have my google voice number on my friends and family plan. Do all calls that go through my google voice number count as friends and family? Also, I currently do not have google voice set up to make calls. If I were to set it up that way, would that mean that all my outgoing calls would also be counted as friends and family?

Is there an a Google Latitude application that I should have or do I access everything through Google Maps? When I go the www.google.com/latitude on my G1, it offers me the option of "launching" Latitude but it just takes me to Google Maps. From there, I cannot see the locations of my Google "friends" (who have agreed to show location), neither does my own location show up on the Latitude homepage on the web (I have settings turned to "detect my location automatically").

I'm using the latest version of Google Maps on JB 4.2.2 [Nexus 4]..I noticed that I cannot edit the names of my locations in "My Places" in the phone app. So I used Google Bookmarks (google.com/bookmarks) from my PC to edit/rename My Places.

Is there any way to change the names of My Places and get them to sync with the phone app? Really baffling!

View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do I find the users available Google Calendars and then create an event in one of those calendars?
Direct access to the Calendar on the handset is for some unknown bizarre reason UNSUPPORTED and not documented and untestable unless you have EVERY single device and ROM. Therefore blind development, cr4p for users and cr4p when you have to blame Google.
Aren't we developing apps to help users with their day-to-day things? Accessing and creating events in a calendar ON THE HANDSET would sem like a logical day-to-day thing to do?
Anyway so I turned to the GDATA API. However the documentation bears no resemblance to anything available for the android SDK. The documented classes stated to be available to be used for Calendar access are not available in the downloadable libraries!?!?!? http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/data/2.0/developers_guide_java.html
So my question, how do I find the users available Google Calendars and then create an event in one of those calendars from an Android app?
Any links posted which say 'see here' please make sure the code is valid for android! :)
(code examples would be great - oh and preferably using the users credentials on the handset to login to the Calendar).
Android 3 and 4 have a new option that allows the user to add new a Google Account to the phone by using the Browser Sign-In. The option is available when you try to add a new Google Account to Android (see screenshot).
Use Browser Sign-In with SAML based Single Sign-On? It is not working with our SAML setup.
while signing up for google maps API, i entered the md5 string that was generated on issuing this command in cmd keytool.exe -list -alias androiddebugkey -keystore "C:androiddebug.keystore" -storepass android -keypass android but it says "The fingerprint that you entered is not valid".

It costs money to use maps with tmobile as a data connection is required. That's fair enough. But some people say GPS is free (albeit heavy on the phone battery). What use is GPS without some form of maps?
