Is there a relatively easy way to make sure a MyLocationOverlay gets preserved with an orientation shift (or any other relevant configuration change)?
The quick story is that I'm designing a somewhat simple app that maps out the user's current location in relation to some non-moving final destination. I'm trying to make sure that if/when the user flips open the phone (on the G1, at least; replace that with whatever would cause an orientation change on any other device), the map view stays almost the same as it was before, albeit rotated, with the same MyLocationOverlay in place. However, whenever I rebuild the Activity from scratch, the blue dot has to find a fresh fix before it will appear again (this makes sense; after all, it IS a new MyLocationOverlay). And I don't think I can preserve the old object, as it takes the MapView as a part of its constructor so it knows where to draw itself on updates, and destroying the Activity makes a new MapView. I already have it re-centering the map and zoom level on reconstruction by passing such data back through the Bundle in onSaveInstanceState. But is there a kinda-sorta easy way to make sure the overlay stays the way it was without having to get a new fix? Hopefully without having the activity handle the orientation shift itself? Or am I going about this entirely wrong? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
