This is my custom layout for my info window:

<RelativeLayout 
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/bg_infowindow" >
    <LinearLayout
            android:id="@+id/text_box"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:orientation="vertical" >
        <TextView 
            style="@style/TexTitle"
            android:id="@+id/title"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    <TextView 
            style="@style/TextDistance"
            android:id="@+id/distance"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
    </LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

And this is my custom adapter:

public class MapInfoWindowAdapter implements InfoWindowAdapter{

    private LayoutInflater inflater;
    private Context context;

    public MapInfoWindowAdapter(Context context){
        inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService( Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE );
        this.context = context;
    }

    @Override
    public View getInfoContents(Marker marker) {

        // Getting view from the layout file
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_popup, null);

        TextView title = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.title);
        title.setText(marker.getTitle());

        TextView address = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.distance);
        address.setText(marker.getSnippet());

        return v;
    }

    @Override
    public View getInfoWindow(Marker arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return null;
    }

}

And this is the result:

However I want the custom drawable as the only background for my info window, How to achieve this?

Replace codes in getInfoContents with getInfoWindow. The difference between them is getInfoContents wraps your View in ViewGroup with default background.

@Override
public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {

    // Getting view from the layout file
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_popup, null);

    TextView title = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.title);
    title.setText(marker.getTitle());

    TextView address = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.distance);
    address.setText(marker.getSnippet());

    return v;
}

@Override
public View getInfoContents(Marker arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}
