How do I make an image pin in google maps center align with the location rather than bottom align in Android

Question

I am making an android app and I have an image marker (a circle). When it is on the map, the bottom of the circle aligns with the location, rather than the center of the circle. How would I fix this?

mMap!!.addMarker(
                MarkerOptions().position(LatLng(location!!.latitude, location!!.longitude)).title("Me").snippet("My Location").icon(
                    BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.circle)
                )
            )

You can locate with this parameter:

.anchor(x, y)

Example usage:

googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
                    .position(new LatLng(latitude, longitude))
                    .anchor(0.5f, 1.0f)
                    .title("title")
                    .snippet("snippet"));

It should be .anchor(0.5f, 0.5f) for center but thank you – Darshan Krishnaswamy Jun 26 '19 at 20:25
