Weird behavior of GeoPoint and/or android.maps.Projection when panning a MapView at max zoom level

I've run into a weird problem with points getting offset using the google maps package.

I开发者_开发知识库 have a MapView with a route displayed on it. I noticed that if I zoom all the way in, and then pan around, my route was getting clipped near the edges of the window. After much debugging of my own code, I discovered that even a simple case like this was enough to repro the issue:

            GeoPoint midPoint = projection.fromPixels(mapView.getWidth()/2, mapView.getHeight()/2);
            GeoPoint nextPoint = new GeoPoint(midPoint.getLatitudeE6(), midPoint.getLongitudeE6());
            pathPaint.setColor(0xFF00FF00);
            projection.toPixels(midPoint, screenPoint);
            canvas.drawCircle(screenPoint.x, screenPoint.y, 5, pathPaint);
            pathPaint.setColor(0xFF0000FF);
            projection.toPixels(nextPoint, screenPoint);
            canvas.drawCircle(screenPoint.x, screenPoint.y, 5, pathPaint);

This uses the Projection class returned by MapView.getProjection() to translate pixels coordinates into a GeoPoint. It then creates a second GeoPoint using the same lat/long. Finally it translates both of these GeoPoints back into screen coordinates and draws two circles, one on top of the other, at this location.

Except, as you pan around, the second circle gets offset from the first. They have identical lat/lon coordinates (I check after the drawing), but end up getting translated to different screen coordinates. My debugging has focused on panning horizontally, but I believe that panning vertically can hit a similar problem, based on what I was seeing with my original app code.

As far as I can tell, any points that are created by the maps package work fine, but any that are created by calling new GeoPoint(lat, lon) exhibit this behavior.

I have created a simple stripped-down application that exhibits this behavior, pasted below. (Map tiles won't download because I didn't bother to sign it, but you don't need them to see the issue.) Just launch it, zoom in all the way, and start panning left or right. Watch the green and blue points diverge, and witness the Log.d prints that state they still have equal lat/lon.

(Is there a better/preferred way for posting sample projects? Sorry, this is my first posting here.)

I am also facing this Problem - seems to be a bug in the Android Mapview API - I think the Issue to Star is this one: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17387&can=5&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars also a possible workaround which is ugly,but works for is included in the comments - basically you determine the error and adjust the result accordingly
