I have implemented google map in my application, I want to animate my marker like below.
How can I achieve this?
Check this link,https://github.com/aarsy/GoogleMapsAnimations
GoogleMapsAnimations" is an awesome first of its type android library for showing a ripple and radar animations on a google map, e.g show catchment area of an earthquake where ripples have been felt, give prominence to certain markers which need to be highlighted. Also add a ripple when your user is moving on the map and give a #PokemonGo type ripple effect and also add a radar type effect to show users that you are searching in certain area
This link should help you :

Then just use the image you have posted as the marker
Recently I show the ubicabs taxi booking app. I found very nice functionality inside it. In this app they have google maps for showing markers, but they have used very good UI component for that. Also I found one more uniqueness is that whenever user moves or change the position of marker through touch it will fetch the current location. One thing that I know is that it is using the onTouchEvent of Overlay but how to create that marker balloon and how to get updated location on the basis of that marker.
I am attaching a preview of that marker here. Also would like to know that how can we scroll the text inside that balloon?
The best overlay open project I have found so far is this one, link. But it is nothing compared to the picture above. Would also like to know how they created this! Great Question and picture ;)
I am creating an Android application which uses GPS to show an user their current location.
I have this part of the application working and the location shows up on map view but I was wondering how do I go about adding a marker on the location? I understand it has something to do with creating an Overlay but am unsure how to go about doing this.
Also I wish for assistance in adding a zoom in/out control button.
Many thanks.

not only you can draw anything on the map you can animate the view as well. using this i implmented drop pin effect as that of IPhone in Android
Using Canvas and onDraw Method is tough but the best and core way to handle things.
Hope it helps :)
You can use this project to achieve that you want:

Hope this helps.
I want to use MapView control in satellite view mode but i don't want to show location labels on it i.e, I want blank satellite view of map in which name of places are not shown.I have searched web a lot but couldn't find a way out.How can I achieve this.Thanks in advance...
The images provided to the MapView from Google have that data built into it, it#s not an overlay and there is no option to get it without. So you can't.
i have several markers on the google map displayed in android, i wish to display more information (information such as - some text,a picture) when a particular marker is clicked. could some one please guide me how can i go about implementing that.
Override onTap() in your ItemizedOverlay and do whatever you want. See here for a sample project that displays a Toast when an item is tapped.
What CommonsWare said.
Or check out this page: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-mapview.html
Also, I would recommend launching a new Activity if you're going to display text and an image, unlike the application at the page where only a small text is displayed.
