Question

Suppose I have made a diagram e.g a circle on android mapView. Now I want to remove/blackout/hide all other maps except that portion. I can zoom in out that portion too

Is this possible?

Best Regards

I have a similar problem of make map view inside certain area.not sure it will help you or not but you can try it.

What you should do is take image of circle(Background is Transparent) and put your image as background in Linear layout. and inside that LinearLayout you can put map view.

your xml will Look like below.

<LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@drawable/Circle_back" >

            <com.google.android.maps.MapView
                android:id="@+id/whereami_mapview"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:apiKey="YOUR API KEY"
                android:clickable="true" />
        </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

i have to view it inside rectangle box. below is the similar screen shot you will get while running. you d’nt need to hide rest of the part of Map.

hope it will help some how what are you looking for.
