How to change the position of a Marker on a Android Map v2
There's one example of moving marker in google map v2 demo app .. In file adt-bundle-linux/sdk/extras/google/google_play_services/samples/maps/src/com/example/mapdemo/MarkerDemoActivity.java
(4.2.2 examples)
Here the code for moving a marker:
public void animateMarker(final Marker marker, final LatLng toPosition, final boolean hideMarker) {
final Handler handler = new Handler();
final long start = SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
Projection proj = mGoogleMapObject.getProjection();
Point startPoint = proj.toScreenLocation(marker.getPosition());
final LatLng startLatLng = proj.fromScreenLocation(startPoint);
final long duration = 500;
final Interpolator interpolator = new LinearInterpolator();
handler.post(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
long elapsed = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() - start;
float t = interpolator.getInterpolation((float) elapsed
/ duration);
double lng = t * toPosition.longitude + (1 - t)
* startLatLng.longitude;
double lat = t * toPosition.latitude + (1 - t)
* startLatLng.latitude;
marker.setPosition(new LatLng(lat, lng));
if (t < 1.0) {
// Post again 16ms later.
handler.postDelayed(this, 16);
} else {
if (hideMarker) {
marker.setVisible(false);
} else {
marker.setVisible(true);
}
}
}
});
}
This code will animate the marker from one geopoint to another.
Found the solution, Need to do it like this:
MarkerOptions a = new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(50,6)));
Marker m = map.addMarker(a);
m.setPosition(new LatLng(50,5));
