Some how I cannot make this work in a ListActivity - is this so? It works perfectly with RelativeLayout but not with TableLayout. What would I have to change to make this work? great tutorial. thanks! it works perfectly!

Since I am using SDK1.5, the builtinZoomControl is used. I wonder if I can align the positions with other custom buttons together? I am not sure about the SDK version for this tutorial. I just want to reproduce the UI layout and logic with my own data sources. That means zoom control, focus navigation button(previous/next buttions) and a list/layer button to get list of all onscreen iterized overlay objects. After reading your tutorial, I know I have to modify the layout file, add/override some functions. But still I am hesitated if I can deal my new buttons with builtinzoom control. Is there any new update? I am developing a Wifihunter app on Android. Since I am using SDK1.5, the builtinZoomControl is used.
