Im creating an app where users need to walk to a point on a map. But they need to find a route to the point by them selves.
Ive created a map with markers but by default if a user clicks on the marker a "start navigation" and "view in google maps" option is shown. Is it possible to disable these options ?
The options that are shown on marker click
This thing is called Map Toolbar. You can disable it by calling UiSettings.setMapToolbarEnabled(false):
GoogleMap map;
....... //init map
map.getUiSettings().setMapToolbarEnabled(false);
You can also define setMapToolbarEnabled() from the XML using the following property:
map:uiMapToolbar="false"
In kotlin you can do:
map.apply {
uiSettings.isMapToolbarEnabled = false
}
If anyone needs to do this in Google Maps v2, you set it in the map options instead of setting it on the map directly. So like this:
var mapOptions = new GoogleMapOptions().InvokeMapToolbarEnabled(false);

I am using map box in my android application. After initializing map box I want to add marker when on longClick on map box so in order according official site I added markerview dependency to application gradle:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-markerview-v7:0.2.0'
}
And then I implements MapboxMap.OnMapLongClickListener and override onMapLongClick.
When mapview is ready I enable enableLocationComponent and create markerViewManager and set map long click listener.
mapView.getMapAsync(mapboxMap -> {
this.mapboxMap = mapboxMap;
mapboxMap.setStyle(Style.MAPBOX_STREETS, style -> {
createCustomAnimationView();
moveTo(home_longitude, home_latitude, home_zoom);
enableLocationComponent();
markerViewManager = new MarkerViewManager(mapView, mapboxMap);
mapboxMap.addOnMapLongClickListener(this);
createCustomAnimationView();
});
});
Finally in onMapLongClick overrided method I make a imageview and add to markerViewManager.
#Override
public boolean onMapLongClick(#NonNull LatLng point) {
ImageView imageView = new ImageView(requireContext());
imageView.setLayoutParams(new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(
(int) Measurement.convertDpToPixel(32, requireContext()),
(int) Measurement.convertDpToPixel(32, requireContext())));
imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.location_ic);
MarkerView markerView = new MarkerView(new LatLng(point.getLatitude(), point.getLongitude()), imageView);
markerViewManager.addMarker(markerView);
return false;
}
When I run application and do long click on screen:
First problem: location_ic appear on the top and left of the screen and after a second or more, icon placed in right place
Other problem:
When I move map, those markers stay fixed and not moved with map but after a second or more then placed in right place.
I hope I had explained clearly but if you are not understanding I uploaded a small video !!!
My video
after a few days and googleing, I finally decided to use SymbolManager to add marker on mapbox:
just add :
dependencies {
implementation 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-plugin-annotation-v7:0.5.0'
}
to app gradle and then Initialize the plugin on onMapReady like below:
symbolManager = new SymbolManager(mapView, mapboxMap,style);
symbolManager.setIconAllowOverlap(true);
symbolManager.setTextAllowOverlap(true);
and use :
symbolManager.create(new SymbolOptions()
.withLatLng(point)
.withIconImage(IMAGE_MARKER_DEFAULT));
for helping look this page and this.
I hope it can be helpful.
I'm currently working with markers in mapbox too. But they are referred as "Symbols" in the latest versions.
To use them add the mapbox android sdk dependency to your project (tutorial from mapbox here ) and follow the other tutorial to use the symbol layer ( link here ).
If you have all your markers as a GeoJSON file, you can also add to a custom map that you would style on the mapbox website and then use in your app. ( other informations here )
I hope this can help you, this is my first attempt to answer at someone.
In android map application, it shows tool-tip window for multiple route, the same way google map also shows that window. I was wondering whether that is a custom marker or a infoWindow over poly-line.
Does any body knows how to achieve this with android map-v2 integration?
Following image show my expectations to implement in android.
2020 Solution (Kotlin)
I wrote this little Kotlin extension function (simply add to your extension functions or anywhere in your code) to do exactly the job needed: It adds an info window half way on the polyline.
fun Polyline.addInfoWindow(map: GoogleMap, title: String, message: String) {
val pointsOnLine = this.points.size
val infoLatLng = this.points[(pointsOnLine / 2)]
val invisibleMarker =
BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(Bitmap.createBitmap(1, 1, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888))
val marker = map.addMarker(
MarkerOptions()
.position(infoLatLng)
.title(title)
.snippet(message)
.alpha(0f)
.icon(invisibleMarker)
.anchor(0f, 0f)
)
marker.showInfoWindow()
}
Use as follows:
polyline.addInfoWindow(map, "Title", "Message")
Example use:
polyline.addInfoWindow(map, route.distanceText, route.durationText)
In the Google Maps Android API it says that:
An info window displays text or images in a popup window above the map. Info windows are always anchored to a marker. Their default behavior is to display when the marker is tapped.
Therefore, you will either have to use another solution than just attaching an info window to the polyline. Maybe you can create an invisible marker at the location, the polyline has been clicked, on the fly which opens the info window.
In case someone is still looking for an answer, you can use bubble icons from the maps-utils library. It lets you create customized markers, that look just like infowindows. You can run a demo from here, but make sure you import is as a project when you run it: File->New->Import Project...
I'm trying show all my map makers on Here maps, but I don't want cluster them to a number, like image. I used Here maps app, markers not clustered Here Maps.
What should I do ?.
You can find information about it here.
You can use the ClusterLayer class.
ClusterLayer cl = new ClusterLayer();
If you want to customize the image use their ImageClusterStyle & ClusterTheme.
ImageClusterStyle imageCluster = new ImageClusterStyle(img);
ClusterTheme theme = new ClusterTheme();
theme.setStyleForDensityRange(2, 9, imageCluster);
cl.setTheme(theme);
I have my own offline map data in my app but only for a small region. Now I'd like to overlay this data onto my Google Map V2. This also already works. The only thing missing now is that GoogleMaps still overlays it's road names / city names above my tiles.
Is it possible to display a google map V2 in Android with MAP_TYPE_NORMAL and overlay custom tiles above roads?
TileOverlay overlay = map.addTileOverlay(new
TileOverlayOptions().tileProvider(provider).zIndex(2000));
The zIndex does't seem to help me here.
I think there is no way to display your tile-layer over the road names/city names.
How about display your offline map as Marker?
It should be displayed on the top.
try this link for https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/model/TileOverlay &
EXAMPLE :
GoogleMap map; // ... get a map.
TileProvider tileProvider; // ... create a tile provider.
TileOverlay tileOverlay = map.addTileOverlay(
new TileOverlayOptions().tileProvider(tileProvider));
Hope this helps.
As far as I know, you cannot place TileOverlays or GroundOverlays on top of labels. Your best option might be to use a different map type. This can be changed after the map has been created (i.e. in the onMapReady method by using the mMap.setMapType(...) method). Here are some possibilities:
MAP_TYPE_NORMAL + Custom Map Style
You can easily create your own map styles by using the Styling Wizard. It allows you to create a style that excludes labels entirely (among other things). Once you've created a style you like, you can copy the JSON code generated by that website and add it to the project file res/raw/style_json.json. The style can then be applied like this:
mMap.setMapType( GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL );
try
{
boolean success = mMap.setMapStyle(
MapStyleOptions.loadRawResourceStyle(
getContext(), R.raw.style_json ) );
if( !success )
{
Log.e( TAG, "Style parsing failed." );
}
}
catch( Resources.NotFoundException e )
{
Log.e( TAG, "Can't find style. Error: ", e );
}
MAP_TYPE_NONE + Custom Map Tiles
If you need to have labels outside of your TileOverlay, you could add a second TileOverlay of non-Google map tiles (like those provided by OpenStreetMap). These typically include the labels within the map tiles themselves. So if your TileOverlay is added with a higher z-index, it will appear on top of these other map tiles!
Map Types Without Labels
MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE and MAP_TYPE_NONE don't include labels. If you don't need any map data outside of your TileOverlay, using MAP_TYPE_NONE will save on mobile data.

exist some method for handle clicks in this button?
Not as of rev.7 of API v2. Hopefully it will be added in the near future. Feature request for this exists on gmaps-api-issues.
Edit:
This is now available via
map.setOnMyLocationClickListener(...);
You can get that button to be shown by doing something like this:
private GoogleMap map;
map = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
map.setMyLocationEnabled(true); // !!! important part
