How to draw the marker on the center of the polyline

Question

I am working on google maps and location listener. I am drawing the polyline on the map with my movement using location listener. Now i want the starting point and the current position on the polyline. I am setting the customized icon as a marker but it appears on the left side of the polyline. I want it exact in the center and the ending point of the polyline. Any Solutions,,??

I don't want marker shape, i just want a white spot to appear on the polyline. But it is considering the spot as marker and because that spot don't have sharp tip so that's why the circle appear out off the Boundary. – Nanettenani

Answer 1

In this case, you can set the marker anchor. mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().anchor(0.5f, 0.5f).position(latLngArrayList.get(0)).icon(startPointIcon).title("Start"));

Mudasir, your marker can be any shape. Create a white circle as a drawable and use that as a your marker. – Bink

Instead of using your image use marker provided by google which would solve your problem....Or else if you want custom marker with a pointy end...

The image on a marker is called its 'icon'. A marker is also known as a 'pin'. – Caulfield

You need to update the icon based on your requirements. – Caulfield

This is the main problem. You see the marker which google use by default it has different shape. But i am just using a circle.It just the adjustment. – Nanettenani

Yeah i also think so. This is icon shape change i think. – Nanettenani

Issue with polyline draws for outdoor latlngs and your markers latlngs are for indoor position. Change your maker positions with outdoor street positions and it will work.
