Setting ID to google map API v2 marker to return image taken by camera intent

Question

Okay, This problem i have been facing for a couple of days now and can\'t seem to resolve.

This is how my map works:

1. Tap on any point on map

If you are not using the markers InfoWindow you could set the InfoWindows title or snippet to your id and then retrieve it. I do this with

myMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
    .title(myTitle)
    .snippet(mySnippet)
    .position(myPosition));

Then to retrieve the id just use:

myMarker.getTitle()

or

myMarker.getSnippet()

Here is the example to use the snippet as a tag for the marker:

public class CustomInfoWindow implements InfoWindowAdapter {

    @Override
    public View getInfoContents(Marker marker) {
        View v = LayoutInflater.from(AppCtxProv.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.custom_info_window, null);
        TextView title = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.title);
        title.setText(marker.getTitle());
        return v;
    }

    @Override
    public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {
        return null;
    }

}

Then for the custom layout I used this simple code:

The AppCtxProv is an Activity class I created that just returns the context:

public class AppCtxProv extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
    }

    public static Context getContext() {
        return getApplicationContext();
    }

}

And in the manifest just give the

android:name="your.package.AppCtxProv"

attribute to the Application tag
