Android Question Markers are not showing in OSMdroid????

[Mark Read]

I am using OSMDroid to create a navi for waterways. It is basically working but....

The main activity calls the navi activity via the TouchEventsOverlay1_LongCLick event. The navi activity calculates a path and creates a series of markers stored in list "Markers", which is globally dimensioned in the main activity. After finishing the navi activity, the main resume event is called and using the rapid debugger, I can see that there are eg. 15 markers in the list but they do not show on the map.
Can anyone see what is going on in the code before I have to post the whole source code?

    'These global variables will be declared once when the application starts.
    'These variables can be accessed from all modules.
    Dim TileSource As String="Mapnik"                                        'Mapnik, OSMPublicTransport, MapquestOSM
    Dim dt As String="Maptemp"                                                            'Filename for screenshot
    Dim FirstPointLon, FirstPointLat, SecondPointLon, SecondPointLat As Double            'Gps coordinates of start and finish markers
    Dim FirstPointClicked As Boolean=False
    Dim Timer1 As Timer                                                                    'Used to create a delay

Hey Mark,
did you checked the coordinates of your points, if they are in the visible part of your map? And what icon did you use? The best is, to use a icon like this:

   Dim m As Marker
   Dim Icon As BitmapDrawable
   Icon = AndroidResources1.GetApplicationDrawable("marker_default")
   m.Initialize("Test", "Test it" , 47.3763900, 15.0911300, Icon)
   Markers.Add(m)

where the icon lies in the drawable-nodpi folder. I have attached your code with an example of one marker which is displayed correctly.

All the best
Stefan

Thanks for your reply Stefan. I checked the coordinates, they were indeed rubbish. The points are calculated from pixel coordinates and there were various problems. The marker had always the geopoint value 0,-720 which cannot be displayed. Now all is correct and working.
