Sorry, just made an error on the first circle paint :
oBuggedMyLocationCanvas.drawCircle(iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize / 2, iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize / 2, iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize * 10 / 20, oPointPaint);

Thanks for your code.

One more thing, if like me you don’t want to use a drawable that is just use in the Droid X case, just paint it on the drawable like this :

float fDensity = mapView.getContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
int iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize = (int) (20 * fDensity);

Bitmap oBuggedMyLocationBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize, iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_4444);
Canvas oBuggedMyLocationCanvas = new Canvas(oBuggedMyLocationBitmap);

Paint oPointPaint = new Paint(); oPointPaint.setAntiAlias(true);

oPointPaint.setColor(0xff292c29);
oPointPaint.setStyle(Style.FILL);
oBuggedMyLocationCanvas.drawCircle(iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize / 2, iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize / 2, iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize * 10 / 2, oPointPaint);

oPointPaint.setColor(0xffe7e7e7);
oPointPaint.setStyle(Style.FILL);
oBuggedMyLocationCanvas.drawCircle(iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize / 2, iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize / 2, iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize * 8 / 20, oPointPaint);

oPointPaint.setColor(0xff10b2d6);
oPointPaint.setStyle(Style.FILL);
oBuggedMyLocationCanvas.drawCircle(iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize / 2, iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize / 2, iBuggedMyLocationBitmapSize * 5 / 20, oPointPaint);

this.drawable = new BitmapDrawable(oBuggedMyLocationBitmap);

[...] is another, similar problem with a missing image on google maps, which is easy enough to solve and documented elsewhere as being on Droid phones as well. [...]

Just got a hold of a Droid X to try and fix this problem. Searched on the error message. Love the internet. Thanks.

Wow, thank you for the short blurb about this issue. I could not for the life of me determine what was causing this on my own Android device until stumbling across this post. Once I made the appropriate changes and extended my own MyLocationProvider, all was well. Thank you again!
