How to handle multiple markers on Google Maps with same location?

Question

I use Google Maps in an app and it is likely that multiple markers are attached to same location where each marker represent a person. In this situation user will not know t

Inspired by the Geek's answer, I created a function. This function returns a new latitude longitude pair, nearby the original value, almost in a circular fashion. COORINDATE_OFFSET is adjustable based on the need.

private static final float COORDINATE_OFFSET = 0.000085f;
private ArrayList markerCoordinates = new ArrayList<>();
private int offsetType = 0;

private LatLng getLatLng(LatLng latLng) {

    LatLng updatedLatLng;

    if (markerCoordinates.contains(latLng)) {
        double latitude = 0;
        double longitude = 0;
        if (offsetType == 0) {
            latitude = latLng.latitude + COORDINATE_OFFSET;
            longitude = latLng.longitude;
        } else if (offsetType == 1) {
            latitude = latLng.latitude - COORDINATE_OFFSET;
            longitude = latLng.longitude;
        } else if (offsetType == 2) {
            latitude = latLng.latitude;
            longitude = latLng.longitude + COORDINATE_OFFSET;
        } else if (offsetType == 3) {
            latitude = latLng.latitude;
            longitude = latLng.longitude - COORDINATE_OFFSET;
        } else if (offsetType == 4) {
            latitude = latLng.latitude + COORDINATE_OFFSET;
            longitude = latLng.longitude + COORDINATE_OFFSET;
        }
        offsetType++;
        if (offsetType == 5) {
            offsetType = 0;
        }


        updatedLatLng = getLatLng(new LatLng(latitude, longitude));

    } else {
        markerCoordinates.add(latLng);
        updatedLatLng = latLng;
    }
    return updatedLatLng;
}
