I tried many different codes a codes and, 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:

Using java Syntax Highlighting

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; 
 
} 
 
}
