Scott Mikolyski (sc...@mikolyski.com) solved my problem.

Then pass the context of the map activity to the instantiation of the custom itemized overlay.
Alex P.S. I am still interested in implementing a display of detail marker information when hovering over a marker as implemented in many location/map based products.
