I seem to be having a problem with using ItemizedOverlay and OveralyItems in it.
I can get the first overlayItem to appear on the map but not any items after that.
Code sample is on: http://www.anddev.org/multiple_overlay_items-t12171.html
Quick overview here:
public class Markers extends ItemizedOverlay {
private Context ctx;
private ArrayList<OverlayItem> mOverlays = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
public Markers(Drawable defaultMarker, Context cont) {
super(boundCenterBottom(defaultMarker));
this.ctx = cont;
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
@Override
protected OverlayItem createItem(int i) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return mOverlays.get(i);
}
@Override
public boolean onTap(GeoPoint p, MapView mapView) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return super.onTap(p, mapView);
}
@Override
protected boolean onTap(int index) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Toast.makeText(this.ctx, mOverlays.get(index).getTitle().toString()+", Latitude: "+mOverlays.get(index).getPoint().getLatitudeE6(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
return super.onTap(index);
}
@Override
public int size() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return mOverlays.size();
}
public void addOverlay(OverlayItem item) {
mOverlays.add(item);
setLastFocusedIndex(-1);
populate();
}
public void clear() {
mOverlays.clear();
setLastFocusedIndex(-1);
populate();
}
}
Samples of how it's used:
Markers usersMarker = new Markers(user,overview.this);
GeoPoint p = new GeoPoint((int) (lat * 1E6),(int) (lon * 1E6));
OverlayItem item = new OverlayItem(p,userData[0],userData[3]);
item.setMarker(this.user);
usersMarker.addOverlay(item);
the first marker shows up on the map but if I add any more they don't show up? Is there a problem with the populate() method? I tried calling it manually after adding all markers but it still didn't help. Please, if you have any idea what could be wrong, say so.
I have working code that looks almost exactly like yours, except I do not call setLastFocusedIndex in my addOverlay function. Try commenting it out and see if it works.
I have finally found an answer. I'm quite ashamed to admit it but the problem was not in the items not drawing but in me not seeing them on screen....The locations for the 2 items were supposed to be nearly identical...but one of them was calculated with a bug and was moved halfway round the world.
So I never bothered to look or zoom out...when I did i found my other marker sitting somewehre in the Barren's sea :) Thanks to all who tried to help me...oh and the above code works :)
check this sample project it helps. add multiple addOverlay()s on ur multiple times
