dear friends,

i have pointed out a location on google map...
using mapoverlay


now i want to show dialog on clicking that perticular overlay can any one guide me how to achieve this..???

any help would be appriciated...

hi, even im trying to do the same, but using longClick. google doesnt throw up many results, and its been a frustrating 3 hours, trying to run a function, when i longpress on a MapView.

Hello mr_muskuraha,

I am assuming that you are extending the ItemizedOverlay<T> object to manage your Overlays. Well, this class provides a hook which gives the ability to handle touches to any of the OverlayItem's in your ItemizedOverlay<T>.

public boolean onTap(GeoPoint point, MapView mapView)

GeoPoint point -- the location on the map of the 'tapped' Overlay.
MapView mapView -- the MapView on which the Overlay resides.

If you are not extending ItemizedOverlay<T>, could you let me know what you are using, and I will see if I can help.

Good luck!

just make sure you set bounds, if there are more than one overlays.

Listen for onTouch Event instead of onTap. onTouch works perfectly on an actual device and onTap works on emulator.

thanks you very much guys for your support.
