[ACCEPTED]-Adding Overlay to OSMDROID-osmdroid

The jars versions 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 seem to 10 have changed a bit since the sample code 9 was written.

If you are basing your app on 8 the code as quoted in the previous answer, then 7 change the line

mResourceProxy = new ResourceProxyImpl(getApplicationContext());

to

mResourceProxy = new DefaultResourceProxyImpl(getApplicationContext());

This should at least get 6 you going with a default icon.

EDIT

This should 5 centre the map just NE of Liverpool and 4 put an icon just off centre.

    public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
        int lat = (int) (location.getLatitude() * 1E6);
        int lng = (int) (location.getLongitude() * 1E6);
        GeoPoint gpt = new GeoPoint(lat, lng);
        mapController.setCenter(gpt);
        mMapView.invalidate();
    }

    @Override
    public void onProviderDisabled(String arg0) {}
    @Override
    public void onProviderEnabled(String provider) {}
    @Override
    public void onStatusChanged(String provider, int status, Bundle extras) {}

}

It's a bit rough 3 and ready, but at least it runs OK with 2 just the 3.0.4 jar and the slf4j one. Hope 1 it helps.

If you are trying to add an icon, then you 5 want to look at the ItemizedOverlay classes. You 4 can use osmdroid's ItemizedIconOverlay which 3 is a concrete implementation of ItemizedOverlay, or 2 you can subclass ItemizedOverlay on your 1 own. Take a look at the samples, such as:

http://code.google.com/p/osmdroid/source/browse/trunk/OpenStreetMapViewer/src/org/osmdroid/samples/SampleWithMinimapItemizedoverlay.java

@rayman

Please one more thing. When there 10 is a change in the location the map does 9 change but the Icon is gone. how do i validate 8 the Icon into the new change? – rayman 7 Jul 1 '11 at 7:12

this is where your location 6 changes

public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
    int lat = (int) (location.getLatitude() * 1E6);
    int lng = (int) (location.getLongitude() * 1E6);
    GeoPoint gpt = new GeoPoint(lat, lng);
    mapController.setCenter(gpt);
    mMapView.invalidate();
}

But as you can see it does not add 5 new icon to the overlay.

You should clear 4 the previous items

items.clear()

(if you want the "old" icon 3 to be removed when the new one is created) and 2 then add the new point (gpt) to the items.

items.add(new OverlayItem("Title", "Description", gpt));

and 1 so on...
