InfoWindow on Marker using MarkerClusterer

Question

This is my html code. I've try anything to add an infowindow on the markers but it don't wanna work. My data is loading from the "Alle_Ortswahlen.page1.xml" file. Do anyone have an idea how can I add infoWindow to each marker?

<script type="text/javascript">
  google.load('maps', '3', {
    other_params: 'sensor=false'
  });
  google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize);
function initialize() {

  var stack = [];

  var center = new google.maps.LatLng(48.136, 11.586);
    var options = {
        'zoom': 5,
        'center': center,
        'mapTypeId': google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
    };
  var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), options);
  GDownloadUrl("Alle_Ortswahlen.page1.xml", function(doc) {
    var xmlDoc = GXml.parse(doc);
    var markers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("ROW");
    for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
      // obtain the attribues of each marker
      var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("Field4"));
      var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("Field6"));
      var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
            position : new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng),
            map: map,
            title:"This is a marker"
        });     
      stack.push(marker);
    }
    var mc = new MarkerClusterer(map,stack);
  });
}
</script>

Before the for cycle, make an empty infowindow object.

var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();

Than in the for cycle, after the marker, add an event listener, like this:

            google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
                return function() {
                    infowindow.setContent("You might put some content here from your XML");
                    infowindow.open(map, marker);
                }
            })(marker, i));

There is some closure magic happening when passing the callback argument to the addListener method. If you are not familiar with it, take a look at here:

Mozilla Dev Center: Working with Closures

So, your code should look something like this:

google.load('maps', '3', {
            other_params: 'sensor=false'
        });

        google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize);

        function initialize() {

            var stack = [];

            var center = new google.maps.LatLng(48.136, 11.586);
            var options = {
                'zoom': 5,
                'center': center,
                'mapTypeId': google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
            };
            var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), options);
            var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
            GDownloadUrl("Alle_Ortswahlen.page1.xml", function(doc) {
                var xmlDoc = GXml.parse(doc);
                var markers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("ROW");
                for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
                    // obtain the attribues of each marker
                    var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("Field4"));
                    var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("Field6"));
                    var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
                        position : new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng),
                        map: map,
                        title:"This is a marker"
                    });     
                    google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
                        return function() {
                            infowindow.setContent("You might put some content here from your XML");
                            infowindow.open(map, marker);
                        }
                    })(marker, i));
                    stack.push(marker);
                }
                var mc = new MarkerClusterer(map,stack);
            });
        }
