Detect if user "deselected" on google map

Question

I'm looking for a way to detect when a marker on a Google map is canceled. I have a sliding box where the pen is invisible until the user clicks on the marker, and I want to make it invisible again after the marker is “canceled”. I tried with marker.isInfoWindowShown() , but I could not get it to work.

Answer 1

There is no event for the information window to disappear, but you can work with it using

 map.setOnMapClickListener(new OnMapClickListener() { ... }); 

and several other "events" that close the info window. If you use marker.remove() or marker.setVisible(false) , they also close the info window when you call the marker, which shows the info window.

You will need to save the markerShowingInfoWindow link (possibly from OnMarkerClickListener or InfoWindowAdapter ).

I know that you have already chosen the answer, but the selected one does not do what you need.

I am also busy with an application that uses markers and has a view that switches when the user selects and deselects the marker.

This is a simple job.

  mMap.setOnMapClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMapClickListener() { @Override public void onMapClick(LatLng latLng) { mMap.setOnMarkerClickListener(new GoogleMap.OnMarkerClickListener() { @Override public boolean onMarkerClick(Marker marker) { //Code for on marker click goes here return false; } }); //Code for marker deselect goes here } }); 

This is the use of two click listeners. Thus, you can switch the visibility depending on what the user clicks.

This is only useful if the marker has an info window . When the information window appears when you click the marker and closes when you click outside the marker. You can find this event on the map.

 // Detect when Marker Info Window is closed googleMap.setOnInfoWindowCloseListener(new GoogleMap.OnInfoWindowCloseListener() { @Override public void onInfoWindowClose(Marker marker) { // Do whatever you want to do here... } });
