Research direction

Start with the linked mapbox-example-android-viewannotation-bug reproduction on Android 16 using Maps SDK 11.22.1, then compare its behavior with the related issue #2681. The work is done when the blue ViewAnnotation remains visible throughout the map viewport rather than being clipped near its midpoint.

Description

bug :beetle:

Environment

  • Android OS version: 16 (API 36)
  • Devices affected: All
  • Maps SDK Version: 11.22.1

Observed behavior and steps to reproduce

The blue box is completely occluded by a vertical area slightly past x=50%.

Expected behavior

The blue box should be visible anywhere in the map viewport.

Notes / preliminary analysis

Please see https://github.com/TruckMap/mapbox-example-android-viewannotation-bug for a reproduction.

This is a duplicate of https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-maps-android/issues/2681, but I thought including a full repro might give this report more traction.
