Android Maps API v2 Change MyLocation Icon

Question

I would like to replace the default icon that Android Maps V2 uses for \'My Location\' (The little blue dot/arrow) with my own image. I\'ve created my own tile provide

Answer 1

As of 3.1.36 you cannot change the icon (I feel it will change in the future, but looking at the speed of API v2 improvements implementation, it won't be before Christmas).

You can however use a marker now, because it has setIcon function.

Basically you have to forget about GoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled, because it will always appear above. You will instead create your own LocationClient and use lat, long and bearing from Location to update the Marker. Additionally add a Circle and use accuracy to have an effect similar to the default myLocation visualization.
