Osmbonuspack: show name of Marker on the map

Question

Using the nice / new osmbonuspack package:

Is there a way to show the name (or title) of the Marker immediately on the Map?

So, without tapping the Marker.

Answer 1

Thank you, MKer, for extending the class.

Below, this is my implementation showing text on the Map. Hope this helps others.

public class MarkerWithLabel extends Marker {
Paint textPaint = null; 
String mLabel = null; 

public MarkerWithLabel(MapView mapView, String label) {
    super( mapView);
    mLabel = label; 
    textPaint = new Paint();
    textPaint.setColor( Color.RED);
    textPaint.setTextSize(40f);
    textPaint.setAntiAlias(true);
    textPaint.setTextAlign(Paint.Align.LEFT);
}
public void draw( final Canvas c, final MapView osmv, boolean shadow) {
    draw( c, osmv); 
}
public void draw( final Canvas c, final MapView osmv) {
    super.draw( c, osmv, false); 
    Point p = this.mPositionPixels;  // already provisioned by Marker
    c.drawText( mLabel, p.x, p.y+20, textPaint); 
 }
}

In the code you could add:

marker = new MarkerWithLabel( mv, label);
marker.setTitle( label); 
etc

Of course! Very easy:

myMarker.showInfoWindow();
