Look at the ItemizedIconOverlay class.

There's a few examples on the internet if you search, an example has been posted on Stack Overflow here: Adding Overylay to OSMDROID

thanks Martin Pearman, it work fine with me but I notice that it requier the use of internet and if I setUseDataConnection(false) then an error occur can it work offline, and is there are any other ways to mark points in the map – Ducktail

If the code works and the Overlay is correctly added to the MapView when UseDataConnection is set to true then the same code should also work when UseDataConnection is set to false. What error are you getting when UseDataConnection is set to false? – Catalogue

thanks Martin Pearman, I test my code again and it work fine with setUseDataConnection(false) I think what was wrong that maybe I was trying to display an Overlay in a part of the map that is not downloaded – Ducktail
