creating CustomInfoWindow in google map v2


I'm having problem creating my own CustomInfoWindow. getting exception without know where & why

this is my simple customInfoWindow class

public class CustomInfoWindow implements InfoWindowAdapter {

private LayoutInflater mInflater;

public CustomInfoWindow(LayoutInflater inflater) {
    this.mInflater=inflater;

}


@Override
public View getInfoContents(Marker marker) {
    View popup = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.info_window_layout, null);
    TextView tv=(TextView)popup.findViewById(R.id.title);
    tv.setText(marker.getTitle());
    tv=(TextView)popup.findViewById(R.id.address);
    tv.setText(marker.getSnippet());

    return popup;
}

@Override
public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {
    View popup = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.info_window_layout, null);
    TextView tv=(TextView)popup.findViewById(R.id.title);
    tv.setText(marker.getTitle());
    tv=(TextView)popup.findViewById(R.id.address);
    tv.setText(marker.getSnippet());

    return popup;
}

}

I'm setting it here. (MainActivity)

mMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map))
            .getMap();
    mMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE);
    mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(
            Statics.LAT_TLV, Statics.LON_TLV), 13));

    CustomInfoWindow customInfoWindow = new CustomInfoWindow(getLayoutInflater());
    mMap.setInfoWindowAdapter(customInfoWindow);

I didn't implement the onMarkerClick method. the map loads ok with the markers (about 40), but when i click on one of the markers i get:

would appreciate if someone can help me with this, and if there's a very simple example of how to create you own info view it would be wonderful. thanks very much. Udi


Solution

  • You should not be overriding both getInfoWindow() and getInfoContents(), at least where getInfoWindow() can never return null. Your getInfoContents() will never be used.

    If I had to guess, your problem lies in your layout file, but that is just a guess.

    Here is a sample InfoWindowAdapter:

    class PopupAdapter implements InfoWindowAdapter {
      LayoutInflater inflater=null;
    
      PopupAdapter(LayoutInflater inflater) {
        this.inflater=inflater;
      }
    
      @Override
      public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {
        return(null);
      }
    
      @Override
      public View getInfoContents(Marker marker) {
        View popup=inflater.inflate(R.layout.popup, null);
    
        TextView tv=(TextView)popup.findViewById(R.id.title);
    
        tv.setText(marker.getTitle());
        tv=(TextView)popup.findViewById(R.id.snippet);
        tv.setText(marker.getSnippet());
    
        return(popup);
      }
    }
    

    Using this layout file for the InfoWindow:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="horizontal">
    
        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/icon"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:padding="2dip"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"
            android:contentDescription="@string/icon"/>
    
        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical">
    
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/title"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:textSize="25sp"
                android:textStyle="bold"/>
    
            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/snippet"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:textSize="15sp"/>
        </LinearLayout>
    
    </LinearLayout>
