How to add a view to a specifc point on mapView

Issue

an When an onTouch event occurs on my MapView, i want layout i have specified to be drawn above the where the user has touched

The below is where i have started, i do not know how to actually place the popup view on the x and y values retrieved from the event. Do you guys have any ideas?

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev, MapView mapView) {

int X = (int)ev.getX();          
int Y = (int)ev.getY();

ViewGroup parent=(ViewGroup)map.getParent();
View popup=getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.id.popup, parent, false);

((ViewGroup)map.getParent()).addView(popup);

Solution

You can set the MapView.LayoutParams() with the values of x and y and then call the MapView's addView with the LayoutParams.

MapView.LayoutParams params = new MapView.LayoutParams(width, height, x, y, alignment);
mapView.addView(popup, params);
