Hi plusminus,

From the above link:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using xml Syntax Highlighting

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 
     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 
     android:layout_height="fill_parent">
 
     <view class="com.google.android.maps.MapView"
 
          android:id="@+id/map_map"
 
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 
          android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
 
     <ImageView
 
          android:id="@+id/iv_map_zoomin"
 
          android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
 
          android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
 
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 
          android:src="@drawable/plus_32"/>
 
     <ImageView
 
          android:id="@+id/iv_map_zoomout"
 
          android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
 
          android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
 
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 
          android:src="@drawable/minus_32"/>
 
</RelativeLayout>
Parsed in 0.003 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

They only add zoomin and zoomout buttons on the top. How do you add bottom components which tell total kms and direction etc?

Have you extended view class? And how do you add a label, text box and image (as in lower left corner on ur screenshot) on a map?

Thanks,
Sami

That is done with overlays.

Thanks,

Is there a way to specify layout of an overlay through XML?
