Question

I am building an android mapView application, and I use icons to mark certain places on the map. For some reason, the icons are displayed with a black “shadow” around them. How can I fix this?

In your ItemizedOverlay, try overriding the onDraw method and passing in false for shadow e.g.

@Override
    public boolean draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow, long when) {
        return super.draw(canvas, mapView, false, when);
    }
