Text Not appearing on Map

[steve nganga]

hi,Am using the MapContainer method addMarker nd passing the text but this text is not appearing on the Marker yet the Marker image is visible.Is there something that am missing here...

l = LocationManager.getLocationManager().getCurrentLocation();

Coord c = new Coord(l.getLatitude(), l.getLongitude());

mo = map.addMarker(ei, c, "Steve", "Steve", ac);

Hi,
On which platform isn't it appearing?

This is on HTC 601 #android v4.2.2 .i just realised i have to click the marker for the text to appear... is there a way the text can just appear without me clicking the marker..

I think you will need to add it either thru the  native code or by encoding it into the marker image.

Any specific classes to paint text into image, with transparent background? Another question is how to define the font size.

[Shai Almog]

Image supports createImage(width, height, ARGBColor)
Font has a derive method that works with native fonts. It very much depends on the font type.

I suggest going thru the developer guide.
