Custom Marker Icon for Google Maps Android API V2

Step 1 :- Create New Android Project.



Step 2 :- Add Google-play-services_lib to your project.

Step 3 :- Open AndroidManifest.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.mapv2.demo"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="17" />
   
    <permission
          android:name="com.mapv2.demo.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"
          android:protectionLevel="signature"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="com.mapv2.demo.permission.MAPS_RECEIVE"/>

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
        <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.providers.gsf.permission.READ_GSERVICES"/>
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION"/>
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>


    <uses-feature
        android:glEsVersion="0x00020000"
        android:required="true"/>

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.mapv2.demo.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
       
        <meta-data
                android:name="com.google.android.maps.v2.API_KEY"
                android:value="AIzaSyCmX7SLVHXxU9pSqb2QbAOvdnjAGUulOrk"/>     
       
    </application>

</manifest>

Step 4 :- Open activity_main.xml.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <fragment
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"/>

</RelativeLayout>
Step 5 :- Open MainActivity.java

package com.mapv2.demo;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.view.Menu;

import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.OnMapLongClickListener;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.BitmapDescriptorFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;

public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity {
   
    GoogleMap map;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
       
        SupportMapFragment fm = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
       
        // Getting reference to Google Map
        map = fm.getMap();
       
        // OnClick Event listener for the Google Map
        map.setOnMapClickListener(new OnMapClickListener() {
           
            @Override
            public void onMapClick(LatLng point) {
               
                // Creating an instance of MarkerOptions
                MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
               
                // Setting position for the marker
                markerOptions.position(point);
               
                // Setting custom icon for the marker
                markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.marker));
               
                // Setting title for the infowindow
                markerOptions.title(point.latitude + ","+point.longitude);
               
                // Adding the marker to the map
                map.addMarker(markerOptions);           
            }
        });
       
       
        // LongClick Event listener for the Google Map
        map.setOnMapLongClickListener(new OnMapLongClickListener() {           
            @Override
            public void onMapLongClick(LatLng point) {
                // Clear all the markers from the Google Map
                map.clear();               
            }
        });   
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }
}
