I would like to design an application that does annotations on a high-resolution image. In particular, I am looking for UI elements that mimic google-map style pins and tags. Are there any existing UI APIs that I can use for that in Android already?
Even with the default Android MapView there is no element available to directly add an overlay like the pins and the text-markers in the google map app, without creating your own image assets and use those.
Maybe this answer: Expanding Overlay Marker on Google Maps? can give you an idea to solve your problem. The projects that are linked use 9patch images to create a custom map overlay.
