(If there's a better place to post questions concerning the Google Maps API please let me know, but it looks like this is the right spot.)
Requirement: I have created a MapActivity containing a MapView. Drag and zoom work fine, and I've successfully added an ItemizedOverlay that displays and updates properly. Right now I can add OverlayItems to the map center via a button, but I would like to add functionality allowing the user to issue a long click to add an OverlayItem to the map at the selected location. Issue 1 (minor): It seems like there should be an easy way to determine the geo location for a click event in MapView, but from what I've gathered it requires writing my own pixel->latlong translation based on the view span. Not a deal breaker, but seems like a common enough use case to warrant addition to the API. Issue 2 (average): My first attempt was to use setLongClickable(true) and setOnLongClickListener, but that doesn't provide the click location. The only param it receives it the View object, but I couldn't find any way to determine the location of the click event. Issue 3 (major): My second attempt was to use setOnTouchListener. This seems completely broken to me. If I return true (ie, consume event) I continue getting all touch events, but drag and zoom of the MapView do not work. That seems like expected behavior. If I return false (ie, do not consume the event) the map view continues to work correctly. My listener receives ONLY the first touch event. Stepping through in debug, it looks like MapView.mOnTouchListener gets set to something like ZoomListener (that's not the exact name, but it's close to that) and then to null shortly after my listener is invoked. Is there another preferred way of handling touch events in MapView? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
