Android: ItemizedOverlay onTouchEvent and onTap overlapping

Question

I am trying to place a marker on a map overlay and then present a dialog when the user selects the drawable. The problem is the events seem to overlap. After I click the m

I had exactly the same issue, my onTouchEvent added a marker to a map, and wanted it to show information about that marker when the user clicks on it, it worked but it also added another marker on top of it.

So what I did was not use onTouchEvent but do everything in onTap(int index) and onTap(Geopoint p, MapView mapView) like so:

public boolean onTap (final GeoPoint p, final MapView mapView){
    boolean tapped = super.onTap(p, mapView);
    if (tapped){            
        //do what you want to do when you hit an item           
    }           
    else{
        //do what you want to do when you DON'T hit an item
        }                   
    return true;
}

//Return true in order to say that the listener has correctly taken the event into account 
@Override
protected boolean onTap(int index) {
    return true;
}
