I want to display some locations on my MapView
. These locations will show pins which will have numbers 1,2,3.. so on(Similar to Google maps result but it is A,B
Solved this.
Inflated the TextView with pin background and dynamically set the position into TextView.
public Drawable createFromView(int positionNumber)
{
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.drawable.pin_icon, null, false);
TextView tv = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.pin_background);
tv.setText(" "+ (positionNumber+1) ); // +1 since position is starting from 0
tv.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
tv.layout(0, 0, 50, 50);
tv.buildDrawingCache();
Bitmap b = Bitmap.createBitmap(tv.getDrawingCache());
tv.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);
Drawable d = new BitmapDrawable(b);
return d;
}
