Replace default Android Maps API v2 Change MyLocation icon

Question

I would like to replace the default icon that Android Maps V2 uses for 'My Location' with my own image. I've created my own tile provider that brings in a few maps which are predominantly blue and as such the default My Location icon, the little blue arrow, is very hard to see.

Previously I would have just overridden the draw method of the MyLocationOverlay, but there doesn't seem to be one in the new API.

I also need the icon to be able to rotate, the same way that the arrow does depending on which way you are facing. So I can't just use a normal marker. Basically I just need to create a custom image for that arrow.

Answer 1

my simple solution way is just disable "my location" of Google map

and create ImageView on Map with my icon then capture ImageView with

onClick and getMyLocation , animateCamera in onClick

 this.mGoogleMap.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(false);  this.mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true); 

.

@Override public void onClick(final View v) {      Location location = this.mGoogleMap.getMyLocation();          if (location != null) {              LatLng target = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());             CameraPosition position = this.mGoogleMap.getCameraPosition();              Builder builder = new CameraPosition.Builder();             builder.zoom(15);             builder.target(target);              this.mGoogleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(builder.build()));            }     }
