Android Google Maps API: Hide Marker Snippet

Question

I am using the Google Maps API v2 and am trying to embed a reference ID to a marker info window. When a user clicks on the info window, it should pass the reference ID to a new intent.

I don't actually want the reference ID to be visible to the user. I added the reference ID as a snippet and use marker.getSnippet() to get the reference ID to pass to the new activity. Is there a way to hide the snippet so the user doesn't see it?

Customize the info window contents via an InfoWindowAdapter, attached it to your GoogleMap via setInfoWindowAdapter(). Implement onInfoContents() on the adapter to return something that does not contain your snippet.
