Android, How to remove all markers from Google Map V2?
Okay finally I found a replacement way to solve my problem. The interesting problem is when you assign a marker to map, it's id is 'm0'. When you remove it from map and assign new marker you expect the id should be 'm0' but it's 'm1'. Therefore, it showed me the id is not trustable. So I defined List<Marker> markerList = new ArrayList<Marker>();
somewhere in onActivityCreated()
of my fragment.
Then changed above code with following one. hope it helps others if they have similar issue with markers.
private void displayData(final List<Venue> venueList) {
Marker marker;
// Removes all markers, overlays, and polylines from the map.
googleMap.clear();
markerList.clear();
// Zoom in, animating the camera.
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(ZOOM_LEVEL), 2000, null);
// Add marker of user's position
MarkerOptions userIndicator = new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(lat, lng))
.title("You are here")
.snippet("lat:" + lat + ", lng:" + lng);
marker = googleMap.addMarker(userIndicator);
// Log.e(TAG, "Marker id '" + marker.getId() + "' added to list.");
markerList.add(marker);
// Add marker of venue if there is any
if(venueList != null) {
for (Venue venue : venueList) {
String guys = venue.getMaleCount();
String girls = venue.getFemaleCount();
String checkinStatus = venue.getCan_checkin();
if (checkinStatus.equalsIgnoreCase("true"))
checkinStatus = "Checked In - ";
else
checkinStatus = "";
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(venue.getLatitude()), Double.parseDouble(venue.getLongitude())))
.title(venue.getName())
.snippet(checkinStatus + "Guys:" + guys + " and Girls:" + girls)
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.ic_orange_pin));
marker = googleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
// Log.e(TAG, "Marker id '" + marker.getId() + "' added to list.");
markerList.add(marker);
}
}
// Move the camera instantly to where lat and lng shows.
if(lat != 0 && lng != 0)
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(lat, lng), ZOOM_LEVEL));
googleMap.setInfoWindowAdapter(new GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter() {
@Override
public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {
return null;
}
@Override
public View getInfoContents(Marker marker) {
return null;
}
});
googleMap.setOnInfoWindowClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnInfoWindowClickListener() {
@Override
public void onInfoWindowClick(Marker marker) {
int markerId = -1;
String str = marker.getId();
Log.i(TAG, "Marker id: " + str);
for(int i=0; i<markerList.size(); i++) {
markerId = i;
Marker m = markerList.get(i);
if(m.getId().equals(marker.getId()))
break;
}
markerId -= 1; // Because first item of markerList is user's marker
Log.i(TAG, "Marker id " + markerId + " clicked.");
// Ignore if User's marker clicked
if(markerId < 0)
return;
try {
Venue venue = venueList.get(markerId);
if(venue.getCan_checkin().equalsIgnoreCase("true")) {
Fragment fragment = VenueFragment.newInstance(venue);
if(fragment != null)
changeFragmentLister.OnReplaceFragment(fragment);
else
Log.e(TAG, "Error! venue shouldn't be null");
}
} catch(NumberFormatException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch(IndexOutOfBoundsException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (NullPointerException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
If you want to clear "all markers, overlays, and polylines from the map", use clear()
on your GoogleMap.
