Question

i have made an application in which i need to change the drawable of an overlayitem when a user clicks on it. i am using the following code to achieve this effect:

Answer 1

I see a lot of answers here doing this the hard way. If you have 2 images and you want to flip them based on focus, do it the easy way:

Step 1: Copy both images into a drawables folder:

Example: mycon_focused.png, mycon.png

Step 2: Create a selector xml file in drawables: Example "marker.xml"

Step 3: When you create your ItemOverlay and add the OverlayItems drawable, use

getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.marker);

instead of

getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.mycon);

and then programically changing it in the on tap method. After reading through many answers and not seeing this anywhere I just tried it myself, and it worked perfectly.

Much thanks to previous contributors, without your help I wouldn't have had a starting point.

Another note: If you're using Sherif elKhatib suggested code and your marker position is off try:

int width = marker.getIntrinsicWidth();
int height = marker.getIntrinsicHeight();
marker.setBounds(-(width/2),-height,(width/2),0);

instead of

marker.setBounds(0,0,marker.getIntrinsicWidth(),marker.getIntrinsicHeight());

This should center it perfectly.
