Google Maps Android API v2 - Interactive InfoWindow (like in original android google maps)

Question

I am trying to a make custom InfoWindow after a click on a marker with the new Google Maps API v2. I want it to look like in the original maps application by Go

Here's my take on the problem. I create AbsoluteLayout overlay which contains Info Window (a regular view with every bit of interactivity and drawing capabilities). Then I start Handler which synchronizes the info window's position with position of point on the map every 16 ms. Sounds crazy, but actually works.
