addCallout after onLongPress

[drshavit]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a callout after a long press:

@Override
    public void onLongPress(MotionEvent event)
    {
        float scale = getScale();
        double relX = getCoordinateTranslater().translateAndScaleAbsoluteToRelativeX(getScrollX() + event.getX(), scale);
        double relY = getCoordinateTranslater().translateAndScaleAbsoluteToRelativeY(getScrollY() + event.getY(), scale);
        callback.LongPress(relX, relY);
    }

then on the activity:

@Override
    public void LongPress(double x, double y)
    {
        HotSpotCallout hotSpotCallout = new HotSpotCallout(MapActivity.this); // just a view
        gis_map.addCallout(hotSpotCallout, x, y, 0f, 0f);
    }

After I long-press, the view is visibile, but then disappears right away. I use the same code on MarkerTapListener and the view stays visible after the tap, so my guess is that some other event is triggered that is causing the view to vanish. My guess was that it's onTouchEvent, so I tried setting a flag to true on onLongPress and then catch the ACTION_UP MotionEvent and return true so that the event will be consumed, but that did not change anything.

Any advice to help me with the actual event chain?

so a callout is just like a marker but disappears on touch. you probably just want to use addMarker instead of addCallout.

if you look at the source for CalloutManager you'll see there's very little going on there.

ok so I needed the callout functionality since I wanted the view to be removed after further interaction with the TileView.

So this is what I did:

@Override
    public void onLongPress(MotionEvent event)
    {
        longPressed = true;
        float scale = getScale();
        double relX = getCoordinateTranslater().translateAndScaleAbsoluteToRelativeX(getScrollX() + event.getX(), scale);
        double relY = getCoordinateTranslater().translateAndScaleAbsoluteToRelativeY(getScrollY() + event.getY(), scale);
        callback.LongPress(relX, relY);
    }

@Override
    public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent event)
    {
        switch (event.getAction())
        {
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                if (longPressed)
                    return true;
                break;
            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                if (longPressed)
                {
                    longPressed = false;
                    return true;
                }
                break;
        }
        return super.onTouchEvent(event);
    }

Maybe you should consider adding it so that the callouts will have LongPress functionality, but not that important.

Thanks again!
