Clear markers from Google Map in Android
If you want to clear "all markers, overlays, and polylines from the map", use clear()
on your GoogleMap
.
If you do not wish to clear polylines and only the markers need to be removed follow the steps below.
First create a new Marker Array like below
List<Marker> AllMarkers = new ArrayList<Marker>();
Then when you add the marker on the google maps also add them to the Marker Array (its AllMarkers in this example)
for(int i=0;i<places.length();i++){
LatLng location = new LatLng(Lat,Long);
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
markerOptions.position(location);
markerOptions.title("Your title");
Marker mLocationMarker = Map.addMarker(markerOptions); // add the marker to Map
AllMarkers.add(mLocationMarker); // add the marker to array
}
then finally call the below method to remove all markers at once
private void removeAllMarkers() {
for (Marker mLocationMarker: AllMarkers) {
mLocationMarker.remove();
}
AllMarkers.clear();
}
call from anywhere to remove all markers
removeAllMarkers();
I found this solution when i was looking for a way to remove only the map markers without clearing the polylines. Hope this will help you too.
