MapView with BalloonItemizedOverlay, how do I trigger a web service call when marker has been dropped

Issue

I have a mapview that is using the BalloonItemizedOverlay. Everything works fine but I would like to be able to call a web service when the map marker has been dropped. The web service call is in my MapActivity.

How can I call a web service from the BalloonItemizedOverlay, this is where my drag/drop code is?

Thanks for you help.

Solution

I resolve this type of issue by using broadcastreceiver..

in your BalloonItemizedOverlay class declare this code:

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction("BalloonItemizedOverlay");
con.sendBroadcast(intent);

and do this in MapActivity. onCreate()::

{
IntentFilter filter = new IntentFilter("BalloonItemizedOverlay");
registerReceiver(myReceiver, filter);
}

private BroadcastReceiver myReceiver = new BroadcastReceiver()
{
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
//call your service method from here...
}
};
