I've been struggling with this problem quite a while now. What I need to do is to draw the overlays of a mapView on top of an image. However, I don't need any of the visual information that the mapView provides, I only want to show the overlays on top of my background imageView. Therefor I need to make the mapView itself transparent, but at the same time keep the overlays opaque.
I have therefor subclassed the com.google.android.maps.MapView class and overriden the dispatchDraw(Canvas canvas) method. Within this method I call super.dispatchDraw(canvas) and then I call the draw- method of my overlays. My problem is to make the mapview totally transparent rather than painting a transparent color on top of it (canvas.drawPaint()/canvas.drawColor). The overlays are drawn on top of the color I paint onto the canvas, but I can't get the mapview itself to become transparent.
