I'm basically trying to figure out how in a cluster of markers to make a marker become selected without clicking on it? Or bring it to the top? I can't seem to find any API methods for this.
For adding a custom marker to Google Maps navigate to the app > res > drawable > Right-Click on it > New > Vector Assets and select the icon which we have to show on your Map. You can change the color according to our requirements. After creating this icon now we will move towards adding this marker to our Map.
To edit the marker color, click or tap on the marker icon. When you do that, you can change both the color of the marker and its style. Go for the color or style you want to change and then click OK to see the effect. Click on the button labeled Done to save your new marker color settings.
By default, when a user taps a marker, the map toolbar appears at the bottom right of the map, giving the user quick access to the Google Maps mobile app. You can disable the toolbar. For more information, see the guide to controls. This episode of Maps Live covers the basics of adding markers to your map using the Maps SDK for Android.
Markers identify locations on the map. The default marker uses a standard icon, common to the Google Maps look and feel. It's possible to change the icon's color, image or anchor point via the API. Markers are objects of type Marker, and are added to the map with the GoogleMap.addMarker(markerOptions) method. Markers are designed to be interactive.
Markers are effectively considered to be in a separate z-index group compared to other overlays or shapes (polylines, polygons, circles, and/or ground overlays), regardless of the z-index of the other overlays.
With Google Maps Android API v2, you can embed maps into an activity as a fragment with a simple XML snippet. The new Maps offer exciting features such as 3D maps; indoor, satellite, terrain, and hybrid maps; vector-based tiles for efficient caching and drawing; animated transitions; and much more. Add a map object.
There aren't any. Unfortunately, Marker
s in Google Map API V2 for Android do not have z-indices. They handle their own draw order.
