Changing colour of Markers - Google Map V2 Android

Question

I'm having a little trouble understanding how to change the colour of a marker in an Android Google Map project.

My code for a Marker is:

googlemap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()     .position(new LatLng( 65.07213,-2.109375))     .title("This is my title"))     .setSnippet("and snippet");     .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_ORANGE))); 

I get this error when I put in the .icon code on the last line, otherwise the .position, .title and .setSnippet work just fine and are visible on the map.

Cannot invoke icon(BitmapDescriptor) on the primitive type void

These get imported aswell:

import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.BitmapDescriptor; import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.BitmapDescriptorFactory; 

But nothing else is added in. Have I missed a vital part?

Answer 1

You have a couple of characters wrong there. Compare your code to this:

googlemap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()     .position(new LatLng( 65.07213,-2.109375))     .title("This is my title")     .snippet("and snippet")     .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_ORANGE))); 

Removed ) on third line, changed setSnippet to snippet and removed ; on forth line.

Answer 2

The problem is the semicolon ";" on the end of the line

.setSnippet("and snippet"); 

If you delete the semicolon making it

.setSnippet("and snippet") 

It should work.
