Here is the draw method of the ItemizedOverlay

public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow) {

            try {
            super.draw(canvas, mapView, false);

            if (getMainOverlayArray().size() != 0){

            pfOverlayItem tempOver = null;
            for (int i = 0; i < getMainOverlayArray().size(); i++) {

                tempOver = getMainOverlayArray().get(i);

            boolean isMatch = false;

            if (tempOver.getTitle().equals(selectedName))
            {
                isMatch = true;
            }

            if (isMatch){

            Projection projection = mapView.getProjection();
            Point point = new Point();
            projection.toPixels(tempOver.getPoint(), point);

            Paint background = new Paint();
            background.setColor(Color.WHITE);
            background.setAlpha(150);
            RectF rect = new RectF();
            rect.set(point.x - 55, point.y +15,
                    point.x + 100, point.y + 65);
            canvas.drawRoundRect(rect, 5, 5, background);


            Paint text = new Paint();
            text.setAntiAlias(true);
            text.setColor(Color.BLUE);
            text.setTextSize(14);
            text.setTypeface(Typeface.MONOSPACE);

            canvas.drawText(tempOver.getTitle() , point.x -50 , point.y + 30, text);
            canvas.drawText(tempOver.getTypeTextOut(), point.x -50 , point.y + 45, text);
            canvas.drawText(tempOver.getdestination(), point.x -50 , point.y + 60, text);
            }
            }
            }
            }catch (Exception e){
                Log.e("Error", "Problem drawing view", e);
                e.printStackTrace();
            }
        }

I now print out the stacktrace and no difference! 🙁

Does anyone have any ideas that could help get to the bottom of this?

    Actually the problem is not in the implementation of your ItemizedOverlay, but in the implementation of your MapActivity. As you can see from a similar stack trace here at line 42 the OverlayBundle is calling the draw() method of an Overlay. This points to a null Overlay that you added to your mapView somewhere.

    Some helpful hints:
    You should definitely pass a drawable to your super constructor (used of hit-testing) by uncommenting the first line of code you already have in there:

         public SitesOverlay() {
    
            //super(null);
            super(boundCenter(defaultMarker));
            //items = getMainOverlayArray();
            //items = mOverlays;
            populate();
    
        }
    

    and potentially not call super.draw() in your draw() method.

        @Override
        public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow) {
            // why do you do this if you paint it yourself later on.
            super.draw(canvas, mapView, false
    

    Most likely you will have to actually do both.

    Edit: Come to think of it you should definitely pass a drawable to your super constructor as it is used for hit-testing. Amended the text above to reflect that.
