I have a bit confuse. May I clarify something. Do you mean you added a marker (Drawable) Overlay, not table view to the mapview and do some implementation on OnTap function to pop the layout?
And may I know do mean you pop the layout by popupwindow class? Thanks.

Ok,let me tell u again.first, do the same things in the hellomapview tutorial. And then if you want to add extra information and clickable buttons when somebody taps on that marker,handle the ontap event.in the ontap event,you must use inflater to populate buttons,links etc. So your application will be like the google maps on the web.i mean shows popups info boxes etc.

Thank for you answer. I found your code in the other thread. I will try it. But I wonder will the poped layout position follow the location when drag drop the map. If yes, it really give me a very big hand

As i said before,it sticks to the geopoint(longitude,latitude) so when you drag the map,it stays on the geolocation.

Ha-ha, I found the magic in your code, it is able to pass geopoint to the layoutparms. I will try it. Thank you so much.

I'm sorry to bring this back up again but can someone show me a peice of code that does this? I'm trying to make something similar to this that is create a ballon with some text and buttons inside when i click on a OverlayItem from a ItemizedOverlay. I just didn't figure it out yet how to do it

Use MapView.addView instead, you will find that there is an parameter about location.

ok, here's what i'm doing:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

        public boolean onTap(GeoPoint p, MapView mapView) {
 
                LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)ctx.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
 
                LayoutParams lp = new LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, p, LayoutParams.CENTER);
 
                LinearLayout ll = (LinearLayout)inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_baloon, null);
 
                mapView.addView(ll, lp);
 
                return true;
 
        }
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

the map_baloon is just a linearlayout with a textview on it.

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
 
<TextView android:text="@+id/TextView01" android:id="@+id/TextView01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"></TextView>
 
</LinearLayout>
 
Parsed in 0.001 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

But nothing appears on screen

What am i doing wrong?

EDIT: Looks like i'm not doing anything wrong. the view is just added to the wrong GeoPoint (how?!?!)

EDIT2: Figured it out

Instead of FILL_PARENT on layout params we should WRAP_CONTENT

Thanks for the help

Does your popup balloon look like the balloon in the picture. Basically a rectangle with a pointed edge like a comic-balloon?
