iOS-style callouts in Android Maps API?

I'm porting an iOS app to Android. The iOS app uses MapKit; the Android app uses corresponding Google Maps API. In the Android API I can't find any functionality analogous to iOS's callout bubble (canShowCallout). I've implemented my own simple layout with text and a button, but it doesn't look great, and recently I've stumbled across an Android app which clearly uses the iOS graphics. Are they hacking or using something legit that, after a day of searching, I can't find?

Thanks,

MapMaker

  • Do you mean those popup balloons that appear after a tap on a marker? There is an implementation of that for Android here
