Example of developing a map of Blackberry web bees: overlay a custom Layer

During application development, you often need to draw a point of user-defined interest or custom Ry on the map. The base provided by RasterMap in the Road Map package is an image.

[Java]
Protected void paint (Graphics g ){
Map. paint (mapGraphics );
G. drawImage (Image) mapImage. getNativeImage (), 0, 0, 0 );
// Start drawing your own sharps or images.
......
}

Protected void paint (Graphics g ){
Map. paint (mapGraphics );
G. drawImage (Image) mapImage. getNativeImage (), 0, 0, 0 );
// Start drawing your own sharps or images.
......
}
Therefore, a simple method is to draw any custom image or image on the map using any plotting method after drawing the map.
Here, we need to pay attention to coordinate transformation. RasterMap uses the longitude and latitude coordinates, while screen coordinates are used for screen display. RasterMap provides the method of Coordinate Conversion: fromScreenPixelToLatLng coordinates are converted to map longitude and latitude coordinates. FromLatLngToScreenPixel converts coordinates from longitude and latitude to screen coordinates.
The following example uses the method of deriving MapLayer subclass. RasterMap is a subclass of MapLayerContainer and can be used to manage multiple map layers. From bottom to top, these layers are equivalent to a layer of transparent paper stacked to form a final map.
The example shows several custom points of interest and a triangle, and the cross icon is displayed in the center of the map.
