googlemap shows two markers rather than one

on mapReady, i want only one marker with its address. but it shows two markers.
i do not understand why. i have all address list that i will display on the marker for each locations and positions. the final code is:
list_layout_list.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id)
{
HistoryItem item = (HistoryItem) list_layout_list.getItemAtPosition(position);
String hintString = item.getHint(getHistoryResult.item_class);
int device_id = (int) id;
//on selectionne les ligne histo par position sur les items (balises).
List<Address> addresses;
try{
addresses = new Geocoder(HistoryActivity.this).getFromLocation(Double.parseDouble(item.items.get(0).lat), Double.parseDouble(item.items.get(0).lng), 1);
if ("start".equals(hintString)) {
MarkerOptions mo = new MarkerOptions();
mo.position(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(item.items.get(0).lat), Double.parseDouble(item.items.get(0).lng)));
mo.title(addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0));
Marker m = map.addMarker(mo);
assert m != null;
m.showInfoWindow();
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(mo.getPosition(), 14));
}if ("stop".equals(hintString)) {
MarkerOptions mo = new MarkerOptions();
mo.position(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(item.items.get(0).lat), Double.parseDouble(item.items.get(0).lng)));
mo.title(addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0));
Marker m = map.addMarker(mo);
assert m != null;
m.showInfoWindow();
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(mo.getPosition(), 14));
} else if ("end".equals(hintString)) {
MarkerOptions mo = new MarkerOptions();
mo.position(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(item.items.get(0).lat), Double.parseDouble(item.items.get(0).lng)));
mo.title(addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0));
Marker m = map.addMarker(mo);
assert m != null;
m.showInfoWindow();
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(mo.getPosition(), 14));
} else if ("event".equals(hintString)) {
Event event = new Event();
LatLng geopoint = new LatLng((double) event.latitude, (double) event.longitude);
MarkerOptions mo = new MarkerOptions();
mo.position(geopoint);
mo.title(event.device_name);
Marker m = map.addMarker(mo);
assert m != null;
m.showInfoWindow();
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(CameraPosition.fromLatLngZoom(mo.getPosition(), 14)));
} else if ("drive".equals(hintString)) {
map.clear();/* ceci pour initialiser la carte pour des parcours differents*/
for(int i=0; i< position; i++) {
// initialisation du temps mis
ArrayList<HistoryItemCoord> historyItemCoords = new ArrayList<>(item.items);
final List<GeoPoint> points = new ArrayList<>();
long previousCoordTime = historyItemCoords.get(0).getTimestamp();
int loopId = 0;
for (HistoryItemCoord coord : historyItemCoords)
{
if (loopId == 0 || (loopId > 0 && previousCoordTime != coord.getTimestamp()))
{
GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(Double.parseDouble(coord.lat), Double.parseDouble(coord.lng));
points.add(point);
}
previousCoordTime = coord.getTimestamp();
loopId++;
}
PolylineOptions polylineOptions = new PolylineOptions();
polylineOptions.color(Color.parseColor("#d61327"));
polylineOptions.width(Utils.dpToPx(HistoryActivity.this, 3));
for (GeoPoint point : points)
{
polylineOptions.add(new LatLng(point.getLatitude(), point.getLongitude()));
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(point.getLatitude(), point.getLongitude()),14));
}
map.addPolyline(polylineOptions);
}
}
} catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
In this part of code for example:
addresses = new Geocoder(HistoryActivity.this).getFromLocation(Double.parseDouble(item.items.get(0).lat), Double.parseDouble(item.items.get(0).lng), 1);
if ("start".equals(hintString)) {
MarkerOptions mo = new MarkerOptions();
mo.position(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(item.items.get(0).lat), Double.parseDouble(item.items.get(0).lng)));
mo.title(addresses.get(0).getAddressLine(0));
Marker m = map.addMarker(mo);
assert m != null;
m.showInfoWindow();
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(mo.getPosition(), 14));
i feel like i have defined two markers m and mo in if(){......}. but i am not sure i can't find the mistake.
if someone can help please, thenk you in advence.

Android. Google map. How to draw polygon from array

I m new to android app development.
I have WKT (POLYGON)
How to draw polygon on google map from wkt?
I try
String str;
ArrayList<String> coordinates = new ArrayList<String>();
str = tvwkt.getText().toString();
str = str.replaceAll("\\(", "");
str = str.replaceAll("\\)", "");
str = str.replaceAll("POLYGON", "");
str = str.replaceAll("POINT", "");
str = str.replaceAll(", ", ",");
str = str.replaceAll(" ", ",");
str = str.replaceAll(",,", ",");
String[] commatokens = str.split(",");
for (String commatoken : commatokens) {
coordinates.add(commatoken);
}
for (int i = 0; i < coordinates.size(); i++) {
String[] tokens = coordinates.get(i).split("\\s");
for (String token : tokens) {
listPoints.add(token);
}
}
PolygonOptions rectOptions = new PolygonOptions().addAll(listPoints).strokeColor(Color.BLUE).fillColor(Color.CYAN).strokeWidth(7);
polygon = mMap.addPolygon(rectOptions);
But its not work.
Hepl me please.
thanks.

This is a better aproach, for this sample WKT Polygon:
wkt = "POLYGON((-84.22800686845923 40.137783757219864,-82.71787050257508 33.66027041269767,-78.6190283330219 37.694486391034445,-84.22800686845923 40.137783757219864))";
We need to get the negative values, and also order correctly the lat/long
private LatLng[] getPolygonPoints() {
ArrayList<LatLng> points = new ArrayList<LatLng>();
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(\\d*\\.\\d+)\\s(\\d*\\.\\d+)");
Matcher m = p.matcher(wkt);
String point;
while (m.find()) {
point = wkt.substring(m.start() - 1, m.end());
points.add(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(point.split(" ")[1]), Double.parseDouble(point.split(" ")[0])));
}
return points.toArray(new LatLng[points.size()]);
}
And then draw the polygon like the last response:
public void drawPolygon() {
LatLng[] points = getPolygonPoints();
Polygon p = mMap.addPolygon(
new PolygonOptions()
.add(points)
.strokeWidth(7)
.fillColor(Color.CYAN)
.strokeColor(Color.BLUE)
);
//Calculate the markers to get their position
LatLngBounds.Builder b = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
for (LatLng point : points) {
b.include(point);
}
LatLngBounds bounds = b.build();
//Change the padding as per needed
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, 20, 20, 5);
mMap.animateCamera(cu);
}

I can do it.
Read LatLong from WKT and add to Array
private LatLng[] GetPolygonPoints(String polygonWkt) {
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
wkt = bundle.getString("wkt");
ArrayList<LatLng> points = new ArrayList<LatLng>();
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("(\\d*\\.\\d+)\\s(\\d*\\.\\d+)");
Matcher m = p.matcher(wkt);
String point;
while (m.find()){
point = wkt.substring(m.start(), m.end());
points.add(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(m.group(1)), Double.parseDouble(m.group(2))));
}
return points.toArray(new LatLng[points.size()]);
}
then draw polygon
public void Draw_Polygon() {
LatLng[] points = GetPolygonPoints(polygonWkt);
Polygon p = mMap.addPolygon(
new PolygonOptions()
.add(points)
.strokeWidth(7)
.fillColor(Color.CYAN)
.strokeColor(Color.BLUE)
);
//Calculate the markers to get their position
LatLngBounds.Builder b = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
for (LatLng point : points) {
b.include(point);
}
LatLngBounds bounds = b.build();
//Change the padding as per needed
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, 20,20,5);
mMap.animateCamera(cu);
}
finally
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
mMap.setMapType(MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
mMap.getUiSettings().setRotateGesturesEnabled(false);
mMap.getUiSettings().setMapToolbarEnabled(false);
LatLng[] points = GetPolygonPoints(polygonWkt);
if (points.length >3){
Draw_Polygon();
}
else {
Add_Markers();
}
}

Draw Routes between multiple points on map

I am new to android. I want to draw routes between multiple markers. I a, getting latitude, longitude and datetime from server. Now i want to show route between the points. I have stored them in arraylist. Here is how i am getting the points in async task doInBackground().
newLatt= new ArrayList<String>();
newLongg= new ArrayList<String>();
newdatTime= new ArrayList<String>();
JSONArray arr = new JSONArray(strServerResponse);
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length(); i++) {
JSONObject jsonObj1 = arr.getJSONObject(i);
String status = jsonObj1.optString("status");
if (status!="false"){
Pojo pojo = new Pojo();
String latitude = jsonObj1.optString("Latitude");
String longitude = jsonObj1.optString("Longitude");
String date_time = jsonObj1.optString("date_time");
newLatt.add(latitude);
newLongg.add(longitude);
newdatTime.add(date_time);
}else {
Handler handler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper());
handler.post(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
AlertDialog alertDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(
MapActivity.this).create();
alertDialog.setMessage("Locations Not Available");
alertDialog.setButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
}
});
alertDialog.show();
}
}
);
}
and in postExecute() method i am showing markers
SupportMapFragment supportMapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
map = supportMapFragment.getMap();
map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
if (newLatt.size()>0){
for (int i = 0; i < newLatt.size(); i++) {
Double lati = Double.parseDouble(newLatt.get(i));
Double longi = Double.parseDouble(newLongg.get(i));
String dattme = newdatTime.get(i);
dest = new LatLng(lati, longi);
if (map != null) {
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.position(dest);
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(dest));
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15));
markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_RED));
markerOptions.title("" + dattme);
map.addMarker(markerOptions);
map.setOnMarkerClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMarkerClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMarkerClick(Marker marker) {
marker.showInfoWindow();
return false;
}
});
UPDATE
PolylineOptions rectOptions = new PolylineOptions();
//this is the color of route
rectOptions.color(Color.argb(255, 85, 166, 27));
LatLng startLatLng = null;
LatLng endLatLng = null;
SupportMapFragment supportMapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);

String dattme = newdatTime.get(i);
dest = new LatLng(lati, longi);
if (map != null) {
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.position(dest);
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(dest));
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15));
markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory

markerOptions.title("" + dattme);
map.addMarker(markerOptions);
map.setOnMarkerClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMarkerClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMarkerClick(Marker marker) {
marker.showInfoWindow();
return false;
}
});
LatLng latlng = new LatLng(lati,
longi);
if (i == 0) {
startLatLng = latlng;
}
if (i == newLatt.size() - 1) {
endLatLng = latlng;
}
rectOptions.add(latlng);
String url = getDirectionsUrl(startLatLng, endLatLng);
DownloadTask downloadTask = new DownloadTask();

}
}
map.addPolyline(rectOptions);
getDirections:
private String getDirectionsUrl(LatLng origin, LatLng dest) {
// Origin of route
String str_origin = "origin=" + origin.latitude + ","
+ origin.longitude;
// Destination of route
String str_dest = "destination=" + dest.latitude + "," + dest.longitude;
// Sensor enabled
String sensor = "sensor=false";
// Building the parameters to the web service
String parameters = str_origin + "&" + str_dest + "&" + sensor;
// Output format
String output = "json";
// Building the url to the web service
String url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/"
+ output + "?" + parameters;
return url;
}

In your postExecute add the following code to add ploylines on the map.
PolylineOptions rectOptions = new PolylineOptions();
//this is the color of route
rectOptions.color(Color.argb(255, 85, 166, 27));
LatLng startLatLng = null;
LatLng endLatLng = null;
for (int i = 0; i < newLatt.size(); i++) {
Double lati = Double.parseDouble(newLatt.get(i));
Double longi = Double.parseDouble(newLongg.get(i));
LatLng latlng = new LatLng(lati,
longi);
if (i == 0) {
startLatLng = latlng;
}
if (i == jArr.length() - 1) {
endLatLng = latlng;
}
rectOptions.add(latlng);
}
map.addPolyline(rectOptions);
Happy coding...

Android does not provide embedded direction service in google map api. To draw route between points you must use google direction services REST API .
You can get complete code and description from http://wptrafficanalyzer.in/blog/drawing-driving-route-directions-between-two-locations-using-google-directions-in-google-map-android-api-v2/
ArrayList<LatLng> points = null;
PolylineOptions lineOptions = null;
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
// Traversing through all the routes
for(int i=0;i<result.size();i++){
points = new ArrayList<LatLng>();
lineOptions = new PolylineOptions();
// Fetching i-th route
List<HashMap<String, String>> path = result.get(i);
// Fetching all the points in i-th route
for(int j=0;j<path.size();j++){
HashMap<String,String> point = path.get(j);
double lat = Double.parseDouble(point.get("lat"));
double lng = Double.parseDouble(point.get("lng"));
LatLng position = new LatLng(lat, lng);
points.add(position);
}
// Adding all the points in the route to LineOptions
lineOptions.addAll(points);
lineOptions.width(2);
lineOptions.color(Color.RED);
}
// Drawing polyline in the Google Map for the i-th route
map.addPolyline(lineOptions);

Cluster Marker miscalculating when zoom out Android google maps

I'm trying to implement a cluster marker on my map, and it is behaving a little strange, first, it shows me the cluster marker with the right number of markers, but when I zoom out to join other markers it generates another cluster marker which I don't know where it is coming from and why it is showing on the map, I`ll add some image to explain it better:
Here is the image with zoom in, as you can see, I have a cluster marker with 8 points and another one alone, so when I zoom out it should give me one clusterMarker with 9 points, but look what happens when I zoom out:
What that cluster marker with 7 points is doing there?
here is my code:
public class MapaViagem extends FragmentActivity implements ClusterManager.OnClusterClickListener<MyItem>, ClusterManager.OnClusterItemClickListener<MyItem> {
private GoogleMap googleMap;
private String rm_IdViagem;
private List<ClienteModel> mClienteModel = new ArrayList<ClienteModel>();
private List<EnderecoModel> mEnderecoModel = new ArrayList<EnderecoModel>();
private ArrayList<LatLng> coordList = new ArrayList<LatLng>();
private ArrayList<String> nomes = new ArrayList<String>();
private ViagemModel mViagemModel = new ViagemModel();
private ClusterManager<MyItem> mClusterManager;
private ProgressDialog dialog;

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.maps);
try {
Bundle parametros = getIntent().getExtras();
rm_IdViagem = parametros.getString("id_viagem");
Repositorio ca = new Repositorio(this);
mViagemModel = ca.getViagemPorId(Integer.valueOf(rm_IdViagem));
Repositorio cl = new Repositorio(this);
mClienteModel = cl.getClientesViagem(Integer.valueOf(rm_IdViagem));
String waypoints = "waypoints=optimize:true";
String coordenadas = "";
if(mClienteModel != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < mClienteModel.size(); i++) {
Repositorio mRepositorio = new Repositorio(this);
mEnderecoModel = mRepositorio.getListaEnderecosDoCliente(Integer.valueOf(mClienteModel.get(i).getClientes_id()));
for (int j = 0; j < mEnderecoModel.size(); j++) {
// Loading map

googleMap.getUiSettings().setCompassEnabled(true);
// Enable / Disable Rotate gesture
googleMap.getUiSettings().setRotateGesturesEnabled(true);
// Enable / Disable zooming functionality
googleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(true);
float latitude = Float.parseFloat(mEnderecoModel.get(j).getLatitude());
float longitude = Float.parseFloat(mEnderecoModel.get(j).getLongitude());
coordenadas += "|" + latitude + "," + longitude;
nomes.add(mClienteModel.get(i).getNome());
coordList.add(new LatLng(latitude, longitude));
mClusterManager = new ClusterManager<MyItem>(MapaViagem.this, googleMap);
mClusterManager.setRenderer(new MyClusterRenderer(MapaViagem.this, googleMap, mClusterManager));
addItems(coordList, nomes);
googleMap.setOnCameraChangeListener(mClusterManager);
googleMap.setOnMarkerClickListener(mClusterManager);
mClusterManager.setOnClusterClickListener(this);
mClusterManager.setOnClusterItemClickListener(this);
mClusterManager.cluster();
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(latitude, longitude), 5));
}
}
String sensor = "sensor=false";
String params = waypoints + coordenadas + "&" + sensor;
String output = "json";
String url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/" + output + "?" + params;
ReadTask downloadTask = new ReadTask();
downloadTask.execute(url);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public class MyClusterRenderer extends DefaultClusterRenderer<MyItem> {
public MyClusterRenderer(Context context, GoogleMap map,
ClusterManager<MyItem> clusterManager) {
super(context, map, clusterManager);
}
#Override
protected void onBeforeClusterItemRendered(MyItem item, MarkerOptions markerOptions) {

//here you have access to the marker itself
}
#Override
protected boolean shouldRenderAsCluster(Cluster<MyItem> cluster) {
return cluster.getSize() > 1;
}
}
}

There seems to be an issue in this code:
coordenadas += "|" + latitude + "," + longitude; nomes.add(mClienteModel.get(i).getNome());
coordList.add(new LatLng(latitude, longitude));
mClusterManager = new ClusterManager<MyItem>(MapaViagem.this, googleMap);
mClusterManager.setRenderer(new MyClusterRenderer(MapaViagem.this, googleMap, mClusterManager));
addItems(coordList, nomes);
You should be adding these two things in there:
getMap().setOnCameraChangeListener(mClusterManager);
and
private void addItems() {
// Set some lat/lng coordinates to start with.
double lat = 51.5145160;
double lng = -0.1270060;
// Add ten cluster items in close proximity, for purposes of this example.
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
double offset = i / 60d;
lat = lat + offset;
lng = lng + offset;
MyItem offsetItem = new MyItem(lat, lng);
mClusterManager.addItem(offsetItem);
}
Here's an example from the documentation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/utility/marker-clustering#simple

Android, How to remove all markers from Google Map V2?

I have map view in my fragment. I need to refresh map and add different markers based on condition. So, I should remove last markers from map before add new markers.
Actually, some weeks ago app was working fine and suddenly it happened. My code is like this:
private void displayData(final List<Venue> venueList) {
// Removes all markers, overlays, and polylines from the map.
googleMap.clear();
.
.
.
}
Last time it was working fine (before new Google Map API announce by Android team in I/O 2013). However, after that I adapted my code to use this new API. Now, I don't know why this method googleMap.clear(); doesn't work!
Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks

Update
=======
Complete code:
private void displayData(final List<Venue> venueList) {
// Removes all markers, overlays, and polylines from the map.
googleMap.clear();
// Zoom in, animating the camera.
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(ZOOM_LEVEL), 2000, null);
// Add marker of user's position
MarkerOptions userIndicator = new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(lat, lng))
.title("You are here")
.snippet("lat:" + lat + ", lng:" + lng);
googleMap.addMarker(userIndicator);
// Add marker of venue if there is any
if(venueList != null) {
for(int i=0; i < venueList.size(); i++) {
Venue venue = venueList.get(i);
String guys = venue.getMaleCount();
String girls= venue.getFemaleCount();
String checkinStatus = venue.getCan_checkin();
if(checkinStatus.equalsIgnoreCase("true"))
checkinStatus = "Checked In - ";
else
checkinStatus = "";
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(venue.getLatitude()), Double.parseDouble(venue.getLongitude())))
.title(venue.getName())
.snippet(checkinStatus + "Guys:" + guys + " and Girls:" + girls)
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.ic_orange_pin));
googleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
}
}
// Move the camera instantly to where lat and lng shows.
if(lat != 0 && lng != 0)
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(lat, lng), ZOOM_LEVEL));
googleMap.setInfoWindowAdapter(new GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter() {
#Override
public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {
return null;
}
#Override
public View getInfoContents(Marker marker) {
return null;
}
});
googleMap.setOnInfoWindowClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnInfoWindowClickListener() {
#Override
public void onInfoWindowClick(Marker marker) {
String str = marker.getId();
Log.i(TAG, "Marker id: " + str);
str = str.substring(1);
int markerId = Integer.parseInt(str);
markerId -= 1; // Because first item id of marker is 1 while list starts at 0
Log.i(TAG, "Marker id " + markerId + " clicked.");
// Ignore if User's marker clicked
if(markerId < 0)
return;
try {
Venue venue = venueList.get(markerId);
if(venue.getCan_checkin().equalsIgnoreCase("true")) {
Fragment fragment = VenueFragment.newInstance(venue);
if(fragment != null)
changeFragmentLister.OnReplaceFragment(fragment);
else
Log.e(TAG, "Error! venue shouldn't be null");
}
} catch(NumberFormatException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch(IndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});

Okay finally I found a replacement way to solve my problem. The interesting problem is when you assign a marker to map, it's id is 'm0'. When you remove it from map and assign new marker you expect the id should be 'm0' but it's 'm1'. Therefore, it showed me the id is not trustable. So I defined List<Marker> markerList = new ArrayList<Marker>(); somewhere in onActivityCreated() of my fragment.
Then changed above code with following one. hope it helps others if they have similar issue with markers.
private void displayData(final List<Venue> venueList) {
Marker marker;
// Removes all markers, overlays, and polylines from the map.
googleMap.clear();
markerList.clear();
// Zoom in, animating the camera.
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(ZOOM_LEVEL), 2000, null);
// Add marker of user's position
MarkerOptions userIndicator = new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(lat, lng))
.title("You are here")
.snippet("lat:" + lat + ", lng:" + lng);
marker = googleMap.addMarker(userIndicator);
// Log.e(TAG, "Marker id '" + marker.getId() + "' added to list.");
markerList.add(marker);
// Add marker of venue if there is any
if(venueList != null) {
for (Venue venue : venueList) {
String guys = venue.getMaleCount();
String girls = venue.getFemaleCount();
String checkinStatus = venue.getCan_checkin();
if (checkinStatus.equalsIgnoreCase("true"))
checkinStatus = "Checked In - ";
else
checkinStatus = "";
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(venue.getLatitude()), Double.parseDouble(venue.getLongitude())))
.title(venue.getName())
.snippet(checkinStatus + "Guys:" + guys + " and Girls:" + girls)
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.ic_orange_pin));
marker = googleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
// Log.e(TAG, "Marker id '" + marker.getId() + "' added to list.");
markerList.add(marker);
}
}
// Move the camera instantly to where lat and lng shows.
if(lat != 0 && lng != 0)
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(lat, lng), ZOOM_LEVEL));
googleMap.setInfoWindowAdapter(new GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter() {
#Override
public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {
return null;
}
#Override
public View getInfoContents(Marker marker) {
return null;
}
});
googleMap.setOnInfoWindowClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnInfoWindowClickListener() {
#Override
public void onInfoWindowClick(Marker marker) {
int markerId = -1;
String str = marker.getId();
Log.i(TAG, "Marker id: " + str);
for(int i=0; i<markerList.size(); i++) {
markerId = i;
Marker m = markerList.get(i);
if(m.getId().equals(marker.getId()))
break;
}
markerId -= 1; // Because first item of markerList is user's marker
Log.i(TAG, "Marker id " + markerId + " clicked.");
// Ignore if User's marker clicked
if(markerId < 0)
return;

If you want to clear "all markers, overlays, and polylines from the map", use clear() on your GoogleMap.

Use map.clear() to remove all markers from Google map

Suppose there is an ArrayList of 2 locations. Now, you display markers on the map based on that array. There will be two markers. When you click on the first marker it gives you a marker index m0 and the second is m1.
Say that you refresh location array and now you got an array with 3 locations. You got 3 markers. But when you click on the first one, it gives you marker index m2 (as if it continues counting from the first location arraw) the second is m3 and the third is m4. What you actually want is to make it as m0, m1, m2.
Now, when you build you location array you probably call location.add("you location")... and when you rebuild it (refresh it) you call location.clear() first and then build it again.
SOLUTION:
First, make another dummy array similar to location array and build it in for loop together with a real location array: locaionDummy.add(i) but don't you EVER refresh it - that way it keeps building and you will know how many locations you've ever had from the very beginning.
Second, do something like this (example of setting image) with mIndex as int variable:
void locatePins() {
mIndex = locationDummy.size()-location.size();
for (int i = 0; i < userID.size(); i++) {
LatLng pgLocation = new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(latArr.get(i)), Double.parseDouble(lngArr.get(i)));
myMap.setInfoWindowAdapter(new GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter() {
#Override
public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {
View view = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.map_marker_info, null);
RelativeLayout markerInfo= view.findViewById(R.id.markerInfo);
TextView name = view.findViewById(R.id.userName);
TextView details = view.findViewById(R.id.userInfo);
ImageView img = view.findViewById(R.id.userImg);
name.setText(marker.getTitle());
details.setText(marker.getSnippet());
img.setImageBitmap (bmImg.get(Integer.parseInt(marker.getId().replaceAll("[^\\d.]", ""))-mIndex));
return view;
}
#Override
public View getInfoContents(Marker marker) {
return null;
}
// ... the rest of the code
}
}
The key is to subtract the real location.size() from a locationDummy.size() to get a number int mIndex that you will subtract later on from marker.getId()

If you need to remove only the markers, and leave other things such as ground overlay,etc there, use:
marker.remove();
or if you have many:
if(markers!=null&&mMap!=null){
for(int i=0;i<markers.size();i++){
markers.get(i).remove();
}
}
where
List<Marker> markers = new ArrayList<>();
