Thanks Jon.

Can you provide any words about 1.9.2 release ETA?.

Dealing with Java generics is a pain. :-)

So in the spirit of "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good," our
next 1.9.2 release should include a non-generic binding for the Google Maps
API -- that is, com.google.android.maps.ItemizedOverlay would be a
non-generic type:

        
http://code.google.com/android/add-ons/google-apis/reference/index.html

This will permit writing Google Maps-using apps in C# without requiring
custom Java glue code.

An improved generics supporting binding tool, we hope, will make it for 2.2,
and we're currently holding out hope that generics can be ~sanely supported
before releasing the tooling.
