Any way to add HTML UI over the map?

[petercn]

I've been able to place a mostly transparent webview with HTML UI components over the native view mapbox map however, doing so disables touching the map since touch events over transparent areas go instead to the webview. The Google Maps Plugin managed to pull off what I'm looking for but I don't quite understand how: https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps/wiki/Map

I'm an Ionic 2 / Cordova dev but don't understand much of the Objective C code plus I want to accomplish them same in Android. I just want to have webview on top that receives touches EXCEPT when the area being touched is transparent and if so, then the touch events should go to the native view which has the map on it below so that the user can interact with moving and zooming the map, etc. Any advice? Any chance of adding code into this plugin itself to support such a feature?

I found this but haven't succeeded in using it in such a way that accomplishes my goal: https://github.com/sSegev/SSAlphaPass

And here's a thread where MapKit folks were trying to do something like this as well: victorzimmer/MapKit#3

Hi @petercn. Sorry for the late response.
my PR is about overlay elements but it is only for iOS for now. I planed to do the convert to Android in next month.
So don't hesitate to give it a try. You can get it on my repo.
