In Chapter 9, page 318 there is an explanation of how to get the location that was touched on a map. Does anyone know how to tell if the location that was touched was the zoom control? Thanks.

Very well written book, by the way.

You just click anywhere on the screen and a toast comes up with the geo co-ordinates. Better if you don't click on the zoom control if you want this to work properly.

Quick question - did you get the overlay bitmap to work? I couldn't get it to be visible and I'm desperately looking for a solution.....

I'm assuming that you are referring to the previous section "Adding Markers" on page 315. I was able to get it to work, but I discovered that there are actually two different versions of the draw() method. One is for animated markers, and one is for static markers. The one listed in the book is actually for animated markers and will get called over and over again for the animation (you can set a breakpoint on it to test this). The signature for the other draw method (which I used) is:

@Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow) {
...
}

I'm not sure if this is what is causing your problem.

Thanks for your reply. I tried your suggestion but it didn't make any difference.

Possibly only the elusive Mr Lee can help me now.....
