ArrayIndexOutoutBoundsException thrown from ItemizedOverlay.getIndexToDraw

I have an Android app where I display a MapView with an ItemizedOverlay and where I want to allow users to touch the map to add new markers to the overlay. My onTouchEvent method uses an content provider to create a new item for the position touched. This calls populate(). When I touch the MapView for the first time the size method correctly returns 1 but I then get the ArrauIndexOutofBoundsException exception and no call to createItem method. Anyway so far I haven't discovered a solution. Here's the exception trace:

You probably should uncomment this line: //setLastFocusedIndex(-1); Whenever your list of elements change you should call setLastFocusedIndex(-1) before you call populate() It is documented here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/38b11314e34714c3
