How to I make the markers in Android Google Maps API v2 become clickable so they will either bring up a menu with options or just start a new activity? I believe I made the markers in my app currently in a "newb" method. I didn't assign them a name or a method to be able to link it in with the rest of the required code.
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(latLng)
.title("My Spot")
.snippet("This is my spot!")
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE)));
If you ANSWER this, please include a sample code of a marker being introduced with a unique name and then being set as clickable to open a new activity.
All markers in Google Android Maps Api v2 are clickable. You don't need to set any additional properties to your marker. What you need to do - is to register marker click callback to your googleMap and handle click within callback:
public class MarkerDemoActivity extends android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity
implements OnMarkerClickListener
{
private Marker myMarker;
private void setUpMap()
{
.......
googleMap.setOnMarkerClickListener(this);
myMarker = googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(latLng)
.title("My Spot")
.snippet("This is my spot!")
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE)));
......
}
@Override
public boolean onMarkerClick(final Marker marker) {
if (marker.equals(myMarker))
{
//handle click here
}
}
}
here is a good guide on google about marker customization
