Works at least with: SDK 1.0

I tried your code and other codes as well , I can't seem to make this work.

All I need is to click on my map and have some sort of a listener trigger like a popup window,dialog or Toast giving the user the long/lat. It just doesn't work. I have my MapView created in my xml main layout fle where I set android:clickable="true" and android:enabled="true"

Also I have the following code:

class MapOverlay extends com.google.android.maps.Overlay
{

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event, MapView mapView)
{

System.out.println("reached here 2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!");
//---when user lifts his finger---
if (event.getAction() == MotionEvent.ACTION_UP) {
GeoPoint p = mapView.getProjection().fromPixels(
(int) event.getX(),
(int) event.getY());
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(),
p.getLatitudeE6() / 1E6 + "," +
p.getLongitudeE6() /1E6 ,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

System.out.println("Touched this loc: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"+p);
}
return false;
}


}


what am I doing wrong? because I am not getting anything.

thanks.

anyone??

I'm not sure, but I think that you need to use the setOnTouchListener from mapView

Hello,

I have test this code but it seems to work only once. Do you know why ?

Thanks.

It appears you have too many ! characters in your System.out.println() message. Try reducing the number of them and running it again.

In all seriousness, android seem to quietly die when things don't go the way it wants. You may try assigning all of your values to variables, and then making the call, that way you could put sysouts between each of the assignments to see where it's blowing up. Good -old fashioned style.

It would also help to make sure you assign the listener to the mapview, or the overlay (not sure which it gets assigned to).
