I think this is a small question don't put basic things in here. First, you have to search your requirement and if you not found put question here.

I'm looking to create a circle menu for markers in my app that uses Google maps.
I've found this online example of what I am trying to do:http://demo-ee.com/index.php/examples/view/circle-menu-for-marker-with-mx-google-maps-for-expressionengine#
The problem is that this is for google maps in a webview, I'm looking to do this on Android.
Does anyone know if this is possible to achieve with google maps for Android and if it is, how much work would be involved to do it?
Is it possible to rebuild this example code in java to use in an Android app?
thanks
I put this as an answer and not as a comment, but I don't think you can achieve the same.
First of all, on android you don't have the "hover" callback for maps, you can only use the onMarkerClick listener.
You could try to build a custom infowindow (there are a few tutorial online but never followed, so I can't give you a trusted one, you have to try :( ) and check if the iw can be placed around your item. Unfortunately on android there is a limited set of functionalities, but to be honest, I would explore a different UX for that (cards, dialogfragment or other).
Check how google maps behaves when clicking on a place (a view scrollable from bottom with details).
You can also think about using a toolbar/expandingtoolbar
I am using Xamarin and am developing a Google Maps application. I would like to create my own style of the InfoWindow concept.
Is it possible for me to create a "box" that can be used as a container that can be positioned on a Google Map. Inside the "box", I can load a View or display some TextViews that have AutoLink properties that I can click on, rather than the current InfoWindow that is just an image?
Is this possible? Is it easy to do? May I please have some resources and/or advice on how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance
I really dislikes the InfoWindow provided by google.
I found that it is not flexible enough to suit the needs I have for customization.
In my recent google maps project I have been using a third party infowindow called 'infobox'.
You might wanna try it out - its really flexible.
.
You can see some demos here:
https://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/infobox/docs/examples.html
The full documentation can be found here:

I am developing an android application for showing the floor map of a building inside google maps. I know there is Google floor plans, but it only available in selected countries. So I need to customize the google map. I am done a little by using the accepted answer in this link. But unfortunately I cant adjust the boundaries of the tiles here, thats not I needed. I only need to show the custom floor map only above the building i need to show, other area should be like the default Google maps. How can I achieve that?
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You could use GroundOverlays, which is a simple image which is shown above the map tiles as you define via geo bounds. See more here
I am working on making a interactive campus map. I am wanting to take an image (below) and overlay it onto Google maps and then add interactive points of interests. I am not seeing how to add or merge the image to the map. Can this be done? Are there any examples out there I missed?
If you want to replace the google map background.
From my experience, I could say no. It can't be done
But if you want to make it like transparent you can put Your map on top of google map and just set transparent.
However, somebody already been done this before. you might got some idea if you see this

You should create an ItemizedOverlay, if you are speaking about google maps on Android.
You can check this stackoverflow question and see the code and links in the posts.
