is it possible to project ovals on Android MapView?

Issue

Working on a project that requires marking oval areas on a map. is this possible? has anyone done this before? Searching around I found lots of refrences of how to draw projected circles , but not ovals. would appreciate any insight or help. Thank you

Solution

Turns out it is! I created an ItemizedOverlay which draws the ovals i need using the project method to translate my geopoints to screen coords.

My issue now, and i hope someone has some insight, Is it possible to create an ItemizedOverlay (or some other kind of overlay) that DOES NOT draw an icon. In my case i want to draw the ovals on the map but i dont want a default icon to be drawn. currently the ovals are being drawn and the default icon is being placed at their center, the default icon provided to the itemizedOverlay constructor.

I have tried constructing with NULL as default icon but it provokes a NULLpointerException.

thank you.
