I need to create a balloon overlay from where a user long presses on the MapView.

Firstly how would i create the balloon overlay dynamically where the point was selected?

A user will long press on the MapView within the application and the gesture detector cathches the gesture.

I dont know how to go about creating a balloon overlay at the point that was selected. any ideas?

 mGestureDetector = new GestureDetector(new GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener() {
            @Override
            public void onLongPress(MotionEvent e) {
                Log.d(tag, "Long Press event");
                // i need to create a balloon at the point that was long pressed
            }
 }

i call this is in an overlay set on the map 

mGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(ev);

For showing ballon on map usually you need to show pins on your map. On clicking that pin a ballon will appear. here is an example of how to do it.
