Google Map v2 Add an animation when marker appear

Question

in iOS, Google Map allow to provide an animation when Marker pop on map.

I'am looking to do the same on Android. So there is nothing to do it or someone know a workaround?

Answer 1

You can animate marker with general Android approach: Animations and Transitions. Use this or that as examples:

private static void animateMarker(final Marker marker, final int current, final LatLng[] line) {
    if (line == null || line.length == 0 || current >= line.length) {
        return;
    }

    ObjectAnimator animator = ObjectAnimator.ofObject(marker, property, typeEvaluator, line[current]);
    animator.addListener(new Animator.AnimatorListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAnimationStart(Animator animation) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
            animateMarker(marker, current + 1, line);
        }

        @Override
        public void onAnimationCancel(Animator animation) {

        }

        @Override
        public void onAnimationRepeat(Animator animation) {

        }
    });

    animator.setDuration(DURATION);
    animator.start();
}

or use libraries, like that.

As per your response from the server, you receive/extract the latitude and longitude.

 //call this method for adding marker with lat and long

    public void addmarker(){
     LatLng marker = new LatLng(double lat, double long);
            googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(marker)
                    .title("My title"));
            googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(marker));
// now the marker is set
// add a delay of 100-200 ms and start you animation (delay for failsafe)
    }
