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

try this; I use this for draw a route on the map, but I set icons for the markers and for my location Declare this for view your location:

    LocationManager locationManager = (LocationManager) 
    getSystemService(LOCATION_SERVICE);
    Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
    String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
    Location myLocation= locationManager.getLastKnownLocation(provider);

    longitude = myLocation.getLongitude();
    latitude  = myLocation.getLatitude();
    fromPosition = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);

And create a function like that, I used for draw on the map but I set icons on the markers and my position:

mGoogleMap.clear();
if(response.equalsIgnoreCase("Success"))
{
     ArrayList directionPoint = v2GetRouteDirection.getDirection(document);
     PolylineOptions rectLine = new PolylineOptions().width(7).color(Color.BLUE);

     for (int i = 0; i < directionPoint.size(); i++) {
     rectLine.add(directionPoint.get(i));
     }
     // Adding route on the map
     mGoogleMap.setOnMarkerClickListener(MainActivity.this);
     mGoogleMap.addPolyline(rectLine);
     markerOptions.position(fromPosition);
     markerOptions.draggable(true);
     Marker1 = mGoogleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
               .position(Estadio)
               .title("Estadio Cuscatlan")
               .snippet("Estadio Cuscatlan")                                                    
               .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory                                          
               .fromResource(R.drawable.mapmarker))); 
     Marker2 = mGoogleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
               .position(Metrocentro)
           .title("Metrocentro")
           .snippet("Metrosuelo")
           .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
           .fromResource(R.drawable.mapmark
      Marker3 = mGoogleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
            .position(Mejicanos)
            .title("Mejicanos")
            .snippet("Mejicanos")
            .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
            .fromResource(R.drawable.mapmarker)));  
      MarkerMe = mGoogleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()                                             
                        .position(fromPosition) 
                        .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
                        .fromResource(R.drawable.car64)));
   }
    Dialog.dismiss();
    } 
}
