Android map marker icons

Boxman

Hi,

I'm looking to add numbered map markers to my android app's google map.

I would like to be able to set something like a standard map marker but with a number embedded in it , i.e.. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 or 9+.
That would mean having ten ready made marker icons and setting the appropriate one per marker.
Could somebody recommend some icons or is there a better dynamic solution?

I saw some map markers on mapsmarker.com but dont really like them.

Any advice welcomed, thanks.

See if you can find anything on Android Asset Studio:

You would probably be better off making a custom view with the generic marker image and then on top of it dynamically drawing the numbers.

Didn't find what I was looking for but some nice tools there I'll use elsewhere, thanks for that.

Thanks very much. I'll look into that.

It could be as simple as a TextView on top of an ImageView with minimal logic needed to show the number. Give me a shout if you need more information.
