I'm doing something along these lines to show information for a bus stop when the user taps on the stop's icon on the map. You can see screen shot of it on my app webpage. It's not super fancy, but the basic idea is there.
What you can do is create a custom view that's designed the way you want to show whatever pop-up information you need to display and show it on the map when the user clicks an overlay item. You can detect when a user has touched an item with the onTap() method in the overlay class. You can then add your custom view to the mapview using the MapView layout params that allow you to place that view at a specific location on the map (in this case above the marker that was tapped). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking On Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 7:34 AM, rde8026 <[email protected]> wrote: > I spent some time a month back looking for this and didn't get > anywhere.
