I'm customizing a map marker but when loading the map it shows me in a very exaggerated size and not in the size of the marker, try to try placing a vector, but it showed me the following error.
com.google.maps.api.android.lib6.common.apiexception.b: Failed to decode image. The provided image must be a Bitmap.
I want the marker to fit me the following way and in the default size.
To solve the detail of the exception that is sending you, when using the image in the method of new MarkerOptions () icon, it would be:
.icon(bitmapDescriptorFromVector(this, R.drawable.marker));
private BitmapDescriptor bitmapDescriptorFromVector(Context context, @DrawableRes int vectorDrawableResourceId) {
Drawable background = ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, R.drawable.ic_map_pin_filled_blue_48dp);
background.setBounds(0, 0, background.getIntrinsicWidth(), background.getIntrinsicHeight());
Drawable vectorDrawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(context, vectorDrawableResourceId);
vectorDrawable.setBounds(40, 20,vectorDrawable.getIntrinsicWidth() + 40, vectorDrawable.getIntrinsicHeight() + 20);
Bitmap bitmap =
Bitmap.createBitmap(background.getIntrinsicWidth(), background.getIntrinsicHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
background.draw(canvas);
vectorDrawable.draw(canvas);
return BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(bitmap);
}
