    @Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle arg0) {
    super.onCreate(arg0);
    setContentView(R.layout.map);
    MapView mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);
    mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    badplatsName = getIntent().getStringExtra("se.brickit.badplatsen.badplatsname");
    lat = getIntent().getIntExtra("se.brickit.badplatsen.lat",0);
    lon = getIntent().getIntExtra("se.brickit.badplatsen.lon",0);

    List<Overlay> mapOverlays = mapView.getOverlays();
    Drawable drawable = this.getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.smiley_flask);
    BrMapViewItemOverlay itemizedoverlay = new BrMapViewItemOverlay(drawable);
    GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(lat,lon);
    OverlayItem overlayitem = new OverlayItem(point, badplatsName, "");
    itemizedoverlay.addOverlay(overlayitem);
    mapOverlays.add(itemizedoverlay);
    mapView.getController().animateTo(point);
    mapView.getController().zoomToSpan(6, 6);
    mapView.setSatellite(true);
}

When i click on the overlay item the application crashes. anybody know the reason why?

the logcat is a bit odd too as it appears to be trying to launch an activity but all i want it to do is show a box with the name when clicked.

Ps here is the overlay class:

public class BrMapViewItemOverlay extends ItemizedOverlay {
private ArrayList<OverlayItem> mOverlays = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
private Context mContext;

public BrMapViewItemOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker) {
    super(boundCenterBottom(defaultMarker));
}

public BrMapViewItemOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker, Context context) {
    super(defaultMarker);
    mContext = context;
}

public void addOverlay(OverlayItem overlay) {
    mOverlays.add(overlay);
    populate();
}

@Override
protected OverlayItem createItem(int i) {
    return mOverlays.get(i);
}

@Override
public int size() {
    return mOverlays.size();
}

@Override
protected boolean onTap(int index) {
    OverlayItem item = mOverlays.get(index);
    AlertDialog.Builder dialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(mContext);
    dialog.setTitle(item.getTitle());
    dialog.setMessage(item.getSnippet());
    dialog.show();
    return true;
}

}

Replace this line

BrMapViewItemOverlay itemizedoverlay = new BrMapViewItemOverlay(drawable);

with

 BrMapViewItemOverlay itemizedoverlay = new BrMapViewItemOverlay(drawable, this);

You have not passed the context and hence inflating AlertDialog is causing failure.
