I have a weather image I would like to use as an overlay in the google maps android api. I would like to achieve the same result that I get from using GroundOverlay in KML files, such as

<GroundOverlay>  
  <name>myimage</name>  
  <Icon>
    <href>myimage.png</href>
    <viewBoundScale>0.75</viewBoundScale>
  </Icon>
  <LatLonBox>
    <north>75.6088</north>
    <south>5.0121</south>
    <east>182.2805</east>
    <west>120.6795</west>
  </LatLonBox>
</GroundOverlay>

The above will ensure that the 4 corners of my image stay anchored to the 4 lat/long points listed, regardless of scrolling, zooming etc..

Is there a way to accomplish this using the google api/maps provided for android?
