Custom Google Map Navigation Window

Question

I just looked at one of the Google maps implemented in the iPhone, which contains shortcuts and buttons.

How can I get a window in Android that contains shortcuts, buttons and an image?

Please provide me with a source for the same.

Answer 1

I already answered this question, but I have another one that is the same as you want in the image above.

package com.pocketjourney.tutorials;
import android.os.Bundle;
import com.google.android.maps.MapActivity;

      public class ShowMapWithTappingWindowActivity extends MapActivity {
      @Override
      public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
      super.onCreate(icicle);
      setContentView(R.layout.tutorial2);
}

/**
 * Must let Google know that a route will not be displayed
 */
@Override
protected boolean isRouteDisplayed() {
    return false;
} 
}

package com.pocketjourney.view;
import com.google.android.maps.GeoPoint;
    /** Class to hold our location information */
    public class MapLocation {
    private GeoPoint point;
    private String name;

public MapLocation(String name,double latitude, double longitude) {
    this.name = name;
    point = new GeoPoint((int)(latitude*1e6),(int)(longitude*1e6));
}

public GeoPoint getPoint() {
    return point;
}

public String getName() {
    return name;
}
}
