Clear map markers except the one in my location

Clear map markers except the one in my location - android

I am searching for nearby places to my location on the map. I want the map to clear from markers of a previous search, when I change place category, but the marker of my location to be present always. The "mGoogleMap.clear();" clears all markers, including the one in my location. How can I change that;
This is my mainActivity:

}

you just save the location(latitude and longitude) of the current marker to a temp variable and then clear the map..
You can clear the map like
mGoogleMap.clear();
After clearing the map add a new marker at the temp location...

Now the main problem is at line 53,its saying that compiler cannot resolve getMap() method and at line 56 it is saying that add permission check.How to solve this problem?

try this
map.getMapAsync(this);
The getMap() method was previously deprecated and removed.
See: https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/MapFragment.html#getMapAsync(com.google.android.gms.maps.OnMapReadyCallback).

Google Maps API null pointer JSONObject

I'm try to develop a location based app. I try to draw a route but program returns to me a NullPointerException.
I faced this problem at line 361.

please, debug and make sure you are correctly downloading the file, check the downloadUrl(String strUrl) method and make sure it reaches line 256. i believe the problem is with the download method.

else {

}
}
}, 500);
This will try to get the Map instance every 500ms until it is not null.
NOTE: SupportMapFragment fm should be a final variable or a member variable of the Activity.

Calls to getMap() will be null until the fragment has gone through the onCreateView lifecycle stage, so you can't call it in onCreate(), you need to call it in onCreateView()
Here is the section of the relevant section of the doc as well as a link.
public final GoogleMap getMap ()
Gets the underlying GoogleMap that is tied to the view wrapped by this fragment.
Returns the GoogleMap. Null if the view of the fragment is not yet ready. This can happen if the fragment lifecyle have not gone through onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle) yet. This can also happen if Google Play services is not available. If Google Play services becomes available afterwards and the fragment have gone through onCreateView(LayoutInflater, ViewGroup, Bundle), calling this method again will initialize and return the GoogleMap.

I want to differentiate info windows between nearby places markers and my location marker

I am searching for places nearby my current location (found by GPS). When a user clicks on the marker of a place nearby, a new activity starts (PlaceDetailsActivity), which shows details of the place. But when the info window of the marker of my current location is pressed, the app crashes. How can I solve this problem?

Finally I did that to solve my issue and it worked.
mGoogleMap.setOnInfoWindowClickListener(new OnInfoWindowClickListener() {
#Override
public void onInfoWindowClick(Marker marker) {
if (marker.getSnippet().equals("Current location")){
}
else{
Intent intent = new Intent(getBaseContext(), PlaceDetailsActivity.class);
String reference = mMarkerPlaceLink.get(marker.getId());
intent.putExtra("reference", reference);
startActivity(intent); // Starting the Place Details Activity
}
}
});........................

Clear map markers except the one in my location - android

you just save the location(latitude and longitude) of the current marker to a temp variable and then clear the map.. You can clear the map like mGoogleMap.clear(); After clearing the map add a new marker at the temp location...
