Drawing shapes in Android MapView independent of the zoom level

Question

I need to draw shapes just like those you would create with custom maps on Google Maps, using Android\'s MapView.

In other words, if I draw a shape on t

This maybe what you are looking for: Can "overlay" size be zoomed together with the google map on android?

public class ImpactOverlay extends Overlay {

private static int CIRCLERADIUS = 0;
private GeoPoint geopoint;

public ImpactOverlay(GeoPoint point, int myRadius) {
    geopoint = point;
    CIRCLERADIUS = myRadius;
}

@Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow) {
    // Transfrom geoposition to Point on canvas
    Projection projection = mapView.getProjection();
    Point point = new Point();
    projection.toPixels(geopoint, point);

    // the circle to mark the spot
    Paint circle = new Paint();
    circle.setColor(Color.BLACK);
    int myCircleRadius = metersToRadius(CIRCLERADIUS, mapView, (double)geopoint.getLatitudeE6()/1000000);
    canvas.drawCircle(point.x, point.y, myCircleRadius, circle);
}

public static int metersToRadius(float meters, MapView map, double latitude) {
    return (int) (map.getProjection().metersToEquatorPixels(meters) * (1/ Math.cos(Math.toRadians(latitude))));         
}
}
