If you want to show snapshot of the picked place in the dialog first you have to save the screen of map view into bitmap.

Refer this code to converting your map view into bitmap

Bitmap screen;
View v1 = MyView.getRootView();
v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
screen= Bitmap.createBitmap(v1.getDrawingCache());
v1.setDrawingCacheEnabled(false);

From above code you can get Bitmap which You can further use in your Dialog box by setting this bitmap into image view. But keep in mind u have to perform all operation before generating dialog and on worker thread.
