Question:
- How to get the context of the current activty
- How to get a view from resource id


Requirement:
I am working with MapLocationOverlay to display the bubble.

In order to configure the MapLocationViewer in the tutorial2.xml

<com.pocketjourney.view.MapLocationViewer
android:id="@+id/map_location_viewer"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

any alternative solution. ?

//setContentView(R.layout.tutorial2); // Instead of calling the xml file
setContentView((View)new MapLocationViewer(????)); How to get the context ?

Afaik not possible. you have to set the content with R.layout.myfile and than you can add new Views.

In order to send the value of myInput from an activity to MapLocationViewer

i removed the xml entry from the xml file.
<com.pocketjourney.view.MapLocationViewer
android:id="@+id/map_location_viewer"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

i have declared as setContentView((View)new MapLocationViewer(myContext,myInput));//So that i can get the myInput value in MapLocationViewer.

Now i am planning to have button in the screen(map). Note that i am using Overlay to display the bubble in map.

If we cannot use setContentView(myViewer,R.layout.myfile); then i have to work on Overlay to display the button.
