    <p>I am using a MapView which needs a number of overlay items added to it. I'm finding adding the overlay items is slow and causes the map to ANR when dragged. So I built an AsyncTask to add the overlay items. Initially I found it failed consistently as I was accessing the overlay collection from a background thread, and I gather it is not thread safe. So I changed it so the overlays are only changed from the UI thread. It now works, but only most of the time. It still crashes very occasionally when the map is touched.</p> <p>Here's the AsyncTask (an inner class inside my subclass of MapView):</p> <pre><code>class showItemsTask extends AsyncTask&lt;Void, User, Void&gt; { public boolean stop = false; @Override protected void onPreExecute() { super.onPreExecute(); } protected Void doInBackground(Void... v) { User[] items = Item.getItemList(); if (items != null &amp;&amp; items.length &gt; 0) { int i = 0; for (User item : items) { publishProgress(item); i++; if (stop || i&gt;MAX_NUMBER_OF_ITEMS) break; } stop = false; } return null; } @Override protected void onProgressUpdate(User... itemContainer) { super.onProgressUpdate(itemContainer); User item = itemContainer[0]; showItem(item.location.latitude, item.location.longitude, item.location.firstname, ((Integer) item.location.id).toString()); } public void showItem(float latitude, float longitude, String itemTitle, String itemSubtitle) { try { GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint((int) (latitude * 1000000), (int) (longitude * 1000000)); OverlayItem marker = new OverlayItem(point, itemTitle, itemSubtitle); availableItemsOverlay.addOverlay(marker); } catch (Exception e) { Trace.e(TAG, "Exception drawing a item"); } } protected void onPostExecute(Void v) { invalidate(); } } </code></pre> <p>Here's the stack trace:</p> <pre><code>0 java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException 1 at com.google.android.maps.ItemizedOverlay.maskHelper(ItemizedOverlay.java:562) 2 at com.google.android.maps.ItemizedOverlay.setFocus(ItemizedOverlay.java:365) 3 at com.google.android.maps.ItemizedOverlay.focus(ItemizedOverlay.java:539) 4 at com.google.android.maps.ItemizedOverlay.onTap(ItemizedOverlay.java:455) 5 at com.google.android.maps.OverlayBundle.onTap(OverlayBundle.java:83) </code></pre> <p>Am I going down the wrong path with AsyncTask? If not, can you see why I'm getting this exception, when all changes to overlays are being made in the UI thread?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
