How do you access country/state/province polygons in google maps api?

Question

I have fairly large map overlay that I am displaying over the google maps data but would still like to see the country/state/province lines through my overlay (so the lines would essentially be on top of my overlay).

As I understand, these lines are simply polygons drawn over the maps. Is there any way to access these? If so, how do I get them to show up through my overlay images?

You can achieve this via appropriate transparency on the items in your overlay.

I am not aware that this is possible in Android.

Not that I am aware of.

If you are more comfortable working with the Web-based Maps API, you can always use that in a WebView widget, instead of using a MapView. There are a number of apps on the Market that work this way.
