Regarding Question #2: Look into Google's ItemizedOverlay (it's documented over at the code.google.com page for the Android Maps API). Unfortunately, Maps is closed-source and that means all of its drawables as well, so you will not be able to use those graphics to achieve an identical map pin or popup when you click the pin. You will have to create all your own drawables for this. To display the popup when the user clicks a pin, override onTap() in your subclassed ItemizedOverlay and then you will have to calculate the offset [basically the height of your pin] and then display the popup at the appropriate GeoPoint. Unfortunately, if you want to keep things seamless, you'll have to adjust the GeoPoint position of the open popup when the user zooms on the map [you'll understand once you mess around with it]. Hope this helps.
I'm unclear as to what your problem is in Question #1, so I'll wait for a more detailed description. I don't see how you are able to click a menu item repeatedly in a previous Activity after starting a new Activity with an Intent... Shouldn't that previous Activity with those menu items be gone after the first click changes the Activity? ::Confused:: -Nick On Apr 1, 4:18 am, Kumar Bibek <[email protected]> wrote: > 1.
