To create Custom InfoWindow for Google Maps Android API v2:
- Make your Activity implements GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter.
- Override getInfoWindow(Marker marker) and getInfoContents(Marker marker).
The API will first call getInfoWindow(Marker) and if null is returned, it will then call getInfoContents(Marker). If this also returns null, then the default info window will be used.
The first of these (getInfoWindow()) allows you to provide a view that will be used for the entire info window. The second of these (getInfoContents()) allows you to just customize the contents of the window but still keep the default info window frame and background.
- setInfoWindowAdapter(this).
Modify MapsActivity.java from last example "Make GoogleMap's marker draggabe and detect moving marker".
