Skobbler callout tail imageview displayed incorrectly Android SDK 2.5.1

Question

I have code that adds a custom annotation callout view to be displayed whenever an annotation is selected my Skobbler mapview.

@Override
public void onAnnotationSelected(final SKAnnotation annotation) {
  ...
  mapPopup = mapHolder.getCalloutView();
  // set the callout view’s background color
  mapPopup.setViewColor(Color.WHITE);
  View view = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.map_callout, null);
  ...
  mapPopup.setCustomView(view);
  // setting 2nd parameter to 'true' will cause tail to be displayed
  mapPopup.showAtLocation(annotation.getLocation(), true);
  ...
}

I also request in the showAtLocation() call that the callout view be displayed with the "tail" imageview. However, when I test in the app, I see that the tail appears at the top of my map_surface_holder RelativeLayout container instead of at the bottom of the FrameLayout container that displays the callout popup view.

When I pan the map, I can see that the tail view moves left and right relative to the movement of the callout view, but it remains aligned to the top of the map_surface_holder container, never moving up or down.

Do I need to add some code somewhere to make the tail image view aware of where it should be placed in the y-axis direction of the RelativeLayout container?

I did try adding a call to mapPopup.setVerticalOffset(offset) to see if that had any effect, but the tail image remained locked to the top of the screen.

One other difference I could see between my custom callout view and the default one provided by the Skobbler is that the standard view is a RelativeLayout container while my implementation is a FrameLayout. However, I'm not sure that it should matter since the Tail ImageView here is being added to the parent of my callout view, not as a child.

Thank you in advance for any help in the matter, and let me know if any additional details would be helpful.

Thanks!

We've tried to reproduce the problem with both 2.5.1 and 3.X - but we weren't able.

Here is the code we used:

//MapActivity
    @Override
    onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
    …
    LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    mapPopup = mapViewGroup.getCalloutView();
    View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.layout_popup, null);
    popupTitleView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.top_text);
    popupDescriptionView = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.bottom_text);
    mapPopup.setCustomView(view);
    …
    }

@Override
public void onAnnotationSelected(final SKAnnotation annotation) {
    if (navigationUI.getVisibility() == View.VISIBLE) {
        return;
    }
    // show the popup at the proper position when selecting an
    // annotation
    int annotationHeight = 0;
    float annotationOffset = annotation.getOffset().getY();
    switch (annotation.getUniqueID()) {
        case 10:
            annotationHeight =(int) (64 * getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density);
            popupTitleView.setText("Annotation using  texture ID ");
            popupDescriptionView.setText(null);
            break;
        case 11:
            annotationHeight = customView.getHeight();
            popupTitleView.setText("Annotation using custom view");
            popupDescriptionView.setText(null);
            break;
    }
    mapPopup.setVerticalOffset(-annotationOffset + annotationHeight / 2);
    mapPopup.showAtLocation(annotation.getLocation(), true);
}

//layout_popup.xml
