Create custom info contents for GoogleMaps V2, by implementing custom InfoWindowAdapter

GoogleMap V2 with custom info contents


Create /res/layout/custom_info_contents.xml to define the layout of our custom info contents.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal">
    
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:orientation="vertical">
        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
            android:adjustViewBounds="true"
            android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/title"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="12dp"
            android:textStyle="bold"/>
        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/snippet"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:textSize="10dp"/>
    </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>


To implement our custom info contents, we have to create our custom InfoWindowAdapter class. Override getInfoContents(Marker marker) to return our custom view. And call myMap.setInfoWindowAdapter(new MyInfoWindowAdapter()) to set our InfoWindowAdapter. In this exercise, we haven't handle getInfoWindow(Marker marker), simple return null.
package com.example.androidmapsv2;

import com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult;
import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.OnMapLongClickListener;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.Marker;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.app.FragmentManager;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class MainActivity extends Activity 
 implements OnMapLongClickListener{
 
 class MyInfoWindowAdapter implements InfoWindowAdapter{

        private final View myContentsView;
  
  MyInfoWindowAdapter(){
   myContentsView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.custom_info_contents, null);
  }
  
  @Override
  public View getInfoContents(Marker marker) {
   
   TextView tvTitle = ((TextView)myContentsView.findViewById(R.id.title));
            tvTitle.setText(marker.getTitle());
            TextView tvSnippet = ((TextView)myContentsView.findViewById(R.id.snippet));
            tvSnippet.setText(marker.getSnippet());
   
            return myContentsView;
  }

  @Override
  public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {
   // TODO Auto-generated method stub
   return null;
  }
  
 }

 final int RQS_GooglePlayServices = 1;
 GoogleMap myMap;
 TextView tvLocInfo;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        tvLocInfo = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.locinfo);
        
        FragmentManager myFragmentManager = getFragmentManager();
        MapFragment myMapFragment 
         = (MapFragment)myFragmentManager.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        myMap = myMapFragment.getMap();
        
        myMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

        //myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
        //myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);
        //myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE);
        myMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_TERRAIN);
        
        myMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);
        myMap.getUiSettings().setCompassEnabled(true);
        myMap.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(true);
        
        myMap.getUiSettings().setRotateGesturesEnabled(true);
        myMap.getUiSettings().setScrollGesturesEnabled(true);
        myMap.getUiSettings().setTiltGesturesEnabled(true);
        myMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(true);
        //or myMap.getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(true);
        
        myMap.setTrafficEnabled(true);
        
        myMap.setOnMapLongClickListener(this);
        
        myMap.setInfoWindowAdapter(new MyInfoWindowAdapter());

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

 @Override
 public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
  switch (item.getItemId()) {
  case R.id.menu_legalnotices:
   String LicenseInfo = GooglePlayServicesUtil.getOpenSourceSoftwareLicenseInfo(
     getApplicationContext());
   AlertDialog.Builder LicenseDialog = new AlertDialog.Builder(MainActivity.this);
   LicenseDialog.setTitle("Legal Notices");
   LicenseDialog.setMessage(LicenseInfo);
   LicenseDialog.show();
   return true; 
  }
  return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
 }

 @Override
 protected void onResume() {

  super.onResume();
  
  int resultCode = GooglePlayServicesUtil.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getApplicationContext());
  
  if (resultCode == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS){
   Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), 
     "isGooglePlayServicesAvailable SUCCESS", 
     Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 
  }else{
   GooglePlayServicesUtil.getErrorDialog(resultCode, this, RQS_GooglePlayServices); 
  }
 }

 @Override
 public void onMapLongClick(LatLng point) {
  tvLocInfo.setText("New marker added@" + point.toString());

  Marker newMarker = myMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
        .position(point)
        .snippet(point.toString()));
  
  newMarker.setTitle(newMarker.getId());

 }
    
}

As a exercise, you can try to return null in getInfoContents(Marker marker), and return the custom view in getInfoWindow(Marker marker) to check the result.
