Osmdroid insert text inside marker

Question

How I can insert text inside Osmdroid marker? Suppose i need place several markers on map, and each marker should have number inside it. How I can make it? I try #setTitle() method, but it place text in balloon.

Update:

for(int i = 0; i < orders.size(); i++) {
    mOrderPoint = orders.get(i).getStart();
    final Order order = orders.get(i);
    Marker orderMarker = new Marker(mMap);
    orderMarker.setIcon(ContextCompat.getDrawable(mContext,R.drawable.order_pin));
    orderMarker.setPosition(mOrderPoint);
}

This method takes a drawable from your resources, draws some text on top of it and returns the new drawable. All you need to do is give it the resource id of your bubble, and the text you want on top. Then you can pass the returned drawable wherever you want it.

public BitmapDrawable writeOnDrawable(int drawableId, String text){

        Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), drawableId).copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);

        Paint paint = new Paint(); 
        paint.setStyle(Style.FILL);  
        paint.setColor(Color.BLACK); 
        paint.setTextSize(20); 

        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bm);
        canvas.drawText(text, 0, bm.getHeight()/2, paint);

        return new BitmapDrawable(bm);
    }

Note:

To preserve density you need this constructor

BitmapDrawable (Resources res, Bitmap bitmap)

So, keeping your context, last return should be something like

    return new BitmapDrawable(context.getResources(), bm);

This prevent an undesired resized drawable.

You want to look at osmdroid bonus pack.

There are many examples of stylized bubbles with text in it.
