TextureMapObject is not shown on isometric Tiled Map - libgdx

Question

In my code I'm using the following code to load the .tmx map. I also use IsometricTiledMapRenderer.
I would like to add a unit upon touch event on tile.
assetManager.setLoader(TiledMap.class, new TmxMapLoader(new InternalFileHandleResolver()));
assetManager.load("maps/grass_and_water.tmx", TiledMap.class);
assetManager.finishLoading();
map = assetManager.get("maps/grass_and_water.tmx");
renderer = new IsometricTiledMapRenderer(map, 1f / 64f);
Gdx.input.setInputProcessor(new GestureDetector(new MapGestureListener(camera, jetFlyingSprite, map)));`
In the touchDown I'm trying to add TextureMapObject on click.
#Override
public boolean touchDown(float x, float y, int pointer, int button) {
Gdx.app.log(TAG, "touchDown gesture");
flinging = false;
scale = camera.zoom;
//return false;
Vector3 clickCoordinates = new Vector3(x,y,0);
Vector3 position = camera.unproject(clickCoordinates);
Texture texture = new Texture("jet_flying.png");
TextureRegion textureRegion = new TextureRegion(texture,400,400);
MapLayer mapLayer = map.getLayers().get("objects");
mapLayer.setVisible(true);
TextureMapObject textureMapObject = new TextureMapObject(textureRegion);
textureMapObject.setName("plane");
textureMapObject.setX((float)position.x);
textureMapObject.setY((float)position.y);
mapLayer.getObjects().add(textureMapObject);
textureMapObject.setX((float)position.x);
textureMapObject.setY((float)position.y);
return true;
}
When running nothing happens when I click.
Any clues/?

Answer 1

I am guessing your "objects" layer is a Object layer, the implementation of that is left blank in BatchTiledMapRenderer which IsometricTiledMapRenderer inherits from. This means object layers are rendered.
BatchTiledMapRenderer renderMapLayer method which calls renderObject which looks like this:
#Override
public void renderObject (MapObject object) {
}
You could subclass IsometricTiledMapRenderer and implement renderObject yourself.
