I have to place different markers on a GoogleMap from the Google Maps Android v2 API. The problem is that multiple markers are set to the same position (lat/lng), so the user only sees the "newest" marker.

Is there a possibility (in the best case: a library) that clusters different markers from the same area (in relation to the zoomlevel)?

I've already read about the MarkerClusterer, but this is designed for the JavaScript API.
