Hi Guys!

i wonder if it can be like somehow plaintext and when clicking on map it set mapview visiblity to false

thanks and any help 'll be appreciated

I'm not sure if I understand exactly what you're asking. It sounds like you have a MapView in your Android application, and you'd like to overlay a "status bar" onto it. The status bar will contain information on the selected location. Am I correct? — bschultz, Jan 20 '12 at 18:22
@bschultz yes what i'm asking it seems like status bar but is it a status bar because status bar get down to last of activity but this is kind of slider i didn't see before — Weloo, Jan 20 '12 at 20:46

The MapView is a ViewController that has layout parameters and lets you embed any controls you want. You should be able to build a basic slider control and embed that on your mapview the same way as you would embed it on a ListView for example.

You have to create custom Overlays to get that view in your map, assuming that you want to bring up that pink view, when you say, click on something in the map. You can google on how to do it.

Here are a few links that will help you to create custom `Overlay`s. The basic idea is to override the `draw` method, and draw whatever you want inside it. http://labs.emich.be/2009/12/06/how-to-make-a-custom-overlay-in-android/ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4428730/creating-custom-overlay-on-the-map . I am sorry, but I don't have the time to write code here – aqs Jan 20 '12 at 21:06

it takes me long time to find the solution for this problem as i'm still beginner in android >>>this slider called popup window

here's the code

  LayoutInflater in=(LayoutInflater) Map.this.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
            View layout=in.inflate(R.layout.mapslider, (ViewGroup) findViewById(R.id.popupwindow));
            pw=new PopupWindow(layout,500,300,true);


and in xml file which called mapslider **you should put any id to main layout for example "popupwindow"**

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:id="@+id/popupwindow"
android:paddingTop="30dp"
