How to draw at the current GPS location on MapView using MyLocationOverlay?

Issue

I'm trying to draw a custom gps-location icon. I'm using MapView and have created a class MyLocationArrow that extends MyLocationOverlay.

I override drawMyLocation() and draw a point at 100,100. But this is the coordinates on screen. How do I get the screen-coordinates from the current GPS-location?

Solution

You can use

android.graphics.Point toPixels(GeoPoint in,
                                android.graphics.Point out)

Converts the given GeoPoint to onscreen pixel coordinates, relative to the top-left of the MapView that provided this Projection.
