MapView onCLick Event Listener


So I've been trying to detect click events to a MapView in order to start a method with the click.

Trying any variation of standard onClickListener or onTouch were no good.

I do not want to add an overlay of to "catch" clicks on a certain part of the map. I want the map to continue to be responsive to drag,zooms, etc.

Any help would be appreciated.


Solution

  • So, apparently the solution is quite simple. I guess it was added in one of the last support libs. GoogleMap now supports onMapClick.

    mMapView.getMap().setOnMapClickListener(new OnMapClickListener()
                    {
                        @Override
                        public void onMapClick(LatLng arg0)
                        {
                            android.util.Log.i("onMapClick", "Horray!");
                        }
                    });
