Android :: When Do I Update OverlayItem List?
Jun 24, 2010
From everything that I've seen and have been reading, I'm apparently supposed to add all my OverlayItems in the constructor, then call Populate().The problem I have conceptually, is that if I'm pulling these items from a database (fed by a web site), then when exactly do I update the items?Also, it seems to me that it's a waste of resources to feed it all the items in advance instead of the ones pertaining to the current location... This seems to be the perfect case to use a ContentProvider, but I don't see anything indicating that one can be used with either ItemizedOverlay or anything else related to the Google Maps API.

Currently I used a map view and placed some overlay items in them
I overiden the onTap function in ItemizedOverlay so that when user tap on the markers icons on the map, some action will perform.
However, I don't know how to know which marker is being tapped so that the related data of the item will be displayed in the screen. How can I do that?

I want to be able to get some reference to the curent object being drawn. code...
Above is my draw method and I want to extend the draw method to write the title underneath each item for example. This would require the .getTitle() method from the OverlayItem. Possibly some tracking of objects outside of this method but not sure where to put it....

When a marker is clicked on google map, a small square area is displayed with hyperlinks. I guess OverlayItem does not render hyperlinks for its snippet. How to achieve this? Ideally I want to assign a layout with all sorts widgets. Presume I can display a small floating activity window when the marker is clicked, but is this the standard way doing this? The drawback of floating activity window is that if want to click another marker, user has to dismiss the current window first.

I am able to display multiple overlayItems on Googlemap, now I want to change icon of any specific overlayItem (to show it is currently selected event). I want to do it through navigation buttons (next, previous) as on Google maps.
I am using StateListDrawable to display icons for OverlayItems. code...
Now my question is how do I change the state of any overlayItem/Icon on map when user click on one of navigation keys?

I have a simple overlay for a Google Map: http://pastebin.com/Rg8miMSh and I add/remove items on it depending on the zoom level. After removing/adding I call populate on the overlay and invalidate on the map view. Everything works just fine, except 1 glitch: after an item was removed, if I tap its location onTap is still triggered and because the OverlayItem is not there anymore i get java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException in com.google.android.maps.ItemizedOverlay.maskHelper(ItemizedOverlay.java: 562) (full stack trace - http://pastebin.com/KThn4ZLE )
Anyone knows why this is happening or how to fix it? Initially i called clear and added all items all over again which didn't seems to cause this problem. However having many items this was becoming a performance issue. Adding/removing only the difference works much faster and I would like to keep this method.

I currently have implemented an overlayitem that shows an icon for geopoint on a map application in Android. When the icon is clicked, it brings up an AlertDialog from the onTap method below.Does anyone know how to display a map message bubble directly above the icon overlayitem with 2 callout buttons one to the left of the title and one to the right of the bubble? Does anyone know how to make the overlayitem draggable so I can press and hold it and drag it across the map. I am trying to duplicate the draggable icon behavior that's available on the iPhone.

I would like to further annotate the custom markers I have placed on a MapView (using ItemizedOverlay) by displaying a simple text label that appears for a particular item when the onTap event is fired.
This is a trivial exercise in the Google Maps JavaScript API and in MapKit on iPhone, but it is not obvious to me what the best or easiest way to do this is on Android.

I have a list that gets refreshed every 2 seconds via the Handler postDelayed() method.Every 2 seconds an AsyncTask is run that makes an HTTP GET request, turns the JSON into a list of objects, then sets the ListAdapter.My problem is that every time the task completes (so, roughly every two seconds) my list jumps back to the top, even if I have scrolled down to the middle or bottom of the list. This would be very annoying to the end user, so I need the list to update in the background, as it's doing, but the current view of the list to not jump back to the top at the completion of the AsyncTask.I can include any more code needed. I'm somewhat new to android development, so I'm not sure what is helpful to others.

I have a list (ListView) which displays news items. They contain a image, title and some text. The image is loaded in a separate thread (with a queue and all) and when the image is downloaded, I now call notifyDataSetChanged() on the list adapter to update the image. This works, but getView() is getting called way to often now, since notifyDataSetChanged() calls getView() for all visible items. I want to update just the single item in the list. How would I do this?Problems I have with my current approch is that the list is slow and I have a fadein animation on the image which happens every time a single new image in the list is loaded.

Android 2.2 (Froyo) is official and impressive This one doesnt come as much of a surprise, but its huge news. The newest version of Android Froyo, as in frozen yogurt was officially announced, despite the fact that we�ve known about it and its features for some time know. The big take-aways are that it is scary fast (2-5x faster than Android 2.1 for CPU-bound activity), browser Javascript performance is 2-3x faster than 2.1, there is a new data backup API, Android is more enterprise-friendly than ever, and app errors are now reported back to developers for better tracking and improving their apps in the future. The SDK was updated and devices get WiFi tethering as well. All told, its a big step forward for Android.Google I/O has revealed what looks to be the final list of handsets getting Froyo, they include:
Motorola Droid
Google Nexus One
Droid Incredible
HTC Desire
HTC Evo 4G
myTouch Slide
HTC has also suggested that all HTC phones launched in 2010 would get Android 2.2, and that launch dates for the updates would be released on a per phone basis. Most, if not all those updates will occur in the second half of this year. The upgrade to Froyo is desirable for all Android smartphones due to speed increases, updated APIs and services, the V8 Javascript engine, and new features in Android Market.I went to the HTC website and filled in a tech support request pleading that they update the Eris to 2.2 as with its slower processor it could use the speed increase more than newer phones can.

I have a listview in the first page of the application which takes almost a minute to populate. It would be nice if after each entry were generated (in a non-ui thread) the list added that entry - Simply calling refresh in the UI thread with a handler post does not do the trick. I use an ArrayAdapter constructed with a list.

I know there are similar threads covering this topic but it seems that they have not been updated. I have been trying to keep up with the threads to see what problems are encountered/fixed but Do you think we could have a running list that can be updated as fixes are found?

There's a few apps that I have found that look very useful but are currently not compatible with the Droid (or with Android 2.0 as a whole). I thought it would be good to have a thread to track apps that are worth waiting on the update so we can be notified when the one we want is available.aSettings - No coming update mentioned on Market description. User Comments state that BT & GPS features do not work on Droid.Feel free to add any apps you've got your eye on and maybe someone else will have more info on a coming update. But please, let's keep this down to a list of high rated, useful or fun apps that are currently not supported on the Droid, and not a huge list of all apps. That thread has already been started. This thread is to track the release of the updates on 'would be' top-apps for the Droid.

After the update I have noticed several changes, 90% have been welcomed & appreciated.Next thing I know I go to make a call from my contact list and there are zero contacts the really weird part is, if I am texting and filling out the to-whom line, it will automatically populate contacts as if my contact list never vanished it may have been coincidental that this took place the day of the update, but that's where u guys come in.let me know if u have had the same issue.

Please sticky if so, and only have problems listed, possible solutions etc.Maybe we can keep the thread from being 12 pages long with people asking the same questions. (Including me).Many of us don't have the time or, patience to look through multiple page threads to find the answer we are looking for.

I got 2 Droid X's last Saturday. If you hold mine and my wife's side by side (in the house), she gets 3G and 3 to 4 bars, while mine is 1X or lower with no bars 90% of the time.
The folks at my local store did a *228, option 2 on my phone and asked me to the same when I got home. Distance between the store and my house is about 9 miles. I did this. Still no help.
So i looked at my wife's phone and the PRL version on her phone is 65169, the version on mine is 52105. Obviously her list sees better towers or something. Is there any way to get my phone to set at that same version of the PRL list? A way to get a specific PRL on the phone?
I get good reception most everywhere else, but the fact that the exact 2 phones have such vastly different reception in the same place is frustrating.

I am using GingerBread for Samsung Note 1. My music player no longer updated the playlist when I added new songs to the phone.I guess there must be crash in the updating of the playlist database. Any method that I can use to determine how the crash happened and then I can try to fix it? (I rooted the phone )

Earlier in 1.6 after I look for a contact and view it and press back. It used to come to that position itself but now whenever I press back after viewing a contact, it goes back to the initial position of contacts (i.e. the contacts starting with letter A).
Example in 2.1, if I view a contact (say named "xyz") and press back, it takes me to the starting list of contacts but no such problem was there in 1.6 version. That is after I press back, it took me to the same list of contacts I was viewing earlier (in this case xyz,xy** etc.)
