Use a FrameLayout. Or a RelativeLayout. Anything that appears later in the layout will appear "above" things that are earlier in the layout, if they overlap. For example, take a look at vidtry: https://github.com/commonsguy/vidtry/tree While this shows a SurfaceView (actually, a com.commonsware.android.vidtry.TappableSurfaceView) instead of a MapView, the concept is the same. Because the SurfaceView and other stuff are in a FrameLayout, and the other stuff is later in the FrameLayout than the SurfaceView, the other stuff will float atop the SurfaceView when it is made visible. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Looking for Android opportunities? http://wiki.andmob.org/hado --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
