# Marker

extends Object

java.lang.Object
↳ | com.google.android.gms.maps.model.Marker

## Class Overview

An icon placed at a particular point on the map's surface. A marker icon is drawn oriented against the device's screen rather than the map's surface; i.e., it will not necessarily change orientation due to map rotations, tilting, or zooming.

A marker has the following properties:

Anchor
  The point on the image that will be placed at the `LatLng` position of the marker. This defaults to 50% from the left of the image and at the bottom of the image.
Position
  The `LatLng` value for the marker's position on the map. You can change this value at any time if you want to move the marker.
Title
  A text string that's displayed in an info window when the user taps the marker. You can change this value at any time.
Snippet
  Additional text that's displayed below the title. You can change this value at any time.
Icon
  A bitmap that's displayed for the marker. If the icon is left unset, a default icon is displayed. You can specify an alternative coloring of the default icon using `defaultMarker(float)`. You can't change the icon once \ you've created the marker.
Drag Status
  If you want to allow the user to drag the marker, set this property to `true`. You can change this value at any time. The default is `true`.
Visibility
  By default, the marker is visible. To make the marker invisible, set this property to `false`. You can change this value at any time.

### Example

     GoogleMap map = ... // get a map.
     // Add a marker at San Francisco.
     Marker marker = map.add(new MarkerOptions()
         .position(new LatLng(37.7750, 122.4183))
         .title("San Francisco")
         .snippet("Population: 776733"));

## Public Methods

#### public boolean equals (Object other)

#### public String getId ()

Gets this marker's id.

When a map is restored from a `Bundle`, markers that were on that map are also restored. However, those markers will then be represented by different `Marker` objects. A marker's id can be used to retrieve the new incarnation of a Marker object after such restoration.

##### Returns

- this marker's id.

#### public LatLng getPosition ()

Returns the position of the marker.

##### Returns

- A `LatLng` object specifying the marker's current position.

#### public String getSnippet ()

Gets the snippet of the marker.

##### Returns

- A string containing the marker's snippet.

#### public String getTitle ()

Gets the title of the marker.

##### Returns

- A string containing the marker's title.

#### public int hashCode ()

#### public void hideInfoWindow ()

Hides the info window if it is shown from this marker.

This method has no effect if this marker is not visible.

#### public boolean isDraggable ()

Gets the draggability of the marker. When a marker is draggable, it can be moved by the user by long pressing on the marker.

##### Returns

- `true` if the marker is draggable; otherwise, returns `false`.

#### public boolean isInfoWindowShown ()

Returns whether the info window is currently shown above this marker. This does not consider whether or not the info window is actually visible on screen.

#### public boolean isVisible ()

#### public void remove ()

Removes this marker from the map. After a marker has been removed, the behavior of all its methods is undefined.

#### public void setDraggable (boolean draggable)

Sets the draggability of the marker. When a marker is draggable, it can be moved by the user by long pressing on the marker.

#### public void setPosition (LatLng latlng)

Sets the position of the marker.

#### public void setSnippet (String snippet)

Sets the snippet of the marker.

#### public void setTitle (String title)

Sets the title of the marker.

#### public void setVisible (boolean visible)

Sets the visibility of this marker. If set to `false` and an info window is currently showing for this marker, this will hide the info window.

#### public void showInfoWindow ()

Shows the info window of this marker on the map, if this marker `isVisible()`.

##### Throws

IllegalArgumentException | if `marker` is not on this map
