View not displayed when created from SearchView onQueryTextSubmit

Question

I want to search for locations in a searchview and display the location on a map with a marker. When the marker is clicked, I want to show a infowindow with the location name, etc. I use OSMDROID and the OSMBONUSPACK.

The Problem: The marker is shown as intented and its onClickListener does fire, but the infowindow is not shown if I call my searchLocationOnMap from onQueryTextSubmit. How to fix that?

Does not work(no info window shown if marker is clicked):

 searchViewMap?.setOnQueryTextListener(object : androidx.appcompat.widget.SearchView.OnQueryTextListener {
        override fun onQueryTextSubmit(query: String?): Boolean {
            val location = searchViewMap?.query.toString()
            if (location != null && location != "") {
                try {
                    searchLocationOnMap("Moosach Bhf")
                } catch (e: java.lang.Exception) {
                    Timber.d("Error while searching for location on map")
                }
            }
            return true
        }

        override fun onQueryTextChange(newText: String?): Boolean {
            return true
        }

    })

For some reason it is shown if I call searchLocationOnMap from onViewCreated or from a regular button.setOnClickListener{}.

Does work(infowindow shown if marker is clicked):

btn.setOnClickListener { searchLocationOnMap("Moosach Bhf") }

This is searchLocationOnMap():

private fun searchLocationOnMap(keyword: String) = GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.Main) {
    removeOldLocationsFromMap()

    val locationAddress = withContext(Dispatchers.Default) { obtainAddressFromKeyword(keyword) }

    if (locationAddress == null) {
        Toast.makeText(context, "No address found for keyword $keyword", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
    } else {
            val marker = createMarkerFromAddress(locationAddress)

            mPOIOverlayFolder.add(marker)
            map.controller.animateTo(marker.position)
            map.invalidate()

    }

This is obtainAdressFromKeyword:

 private fun obtainAddressFromKeyword(keyword: String): Address? {
    val result = GeocoderNominatim("TestUserAgent").getFromLocationName(keyword, 1).firstOrNull()
    Timber.d("result: $result")
    return result
}

This is createMarkerFromAddress:

private fun createMarkerFromAddress(address: Address): Marker {
    val poiMarker = Marker(map)
    poiMarker.title = address.getAddressLine(0)
    poiMarker.snippet = "Lat : ${address.latitude},\n Long ${address.longitude}"
    poiMarker.position = GeoPoint(address.latitude, address.longitude)
    poiMarker.icon = ContextCompat.getDrawable(applicationContext, R.drawable.poi_black)
    poiMarker.infoWindow = MarkerInfoWindow(R.layout.marker_info_bubble, map)
    poiMarker.setOnMarkerClickListener { marker, map -> onMarkerClick(marker) }


    return poiMarker
}

This is onMarkerClick:

private fun onMarkerClick(marker: Marker) : Boolean {
    marker.showInfoWindow()
    marker.infoWindow.view.bringToFront()
    Timber.d("Clicked Marker ${marker.title}, infowindowshown: ${marker.isInfoWindowShown}")

    return true

Timber result (in both cases):

Clicked Marker Memminger Platz, infowindowshown: true

Answer 1

The map.parent view has to be invalidated.
