MapStyleOptions

  • MapStyleOptions allows customization of Google Maps styling, impacting the visual display of features like roads and parks.

  • You can change the style of map features or hide them completely to highlight specific elements or complement your app's content.

  • Style options are defined using a JSON string, which can be provided directly or loaded from a raw resource.

  • loadRawResourceStyle is a static method for creating MapStyleOptions from a JSON string in a raw resource file.
public final class MapStyleOptions extends Object
implements Parcelable

Defines styling options for a GoogleMap.

With style options you can customize the presentation of the standard Google map styles, changing the visual display of features like roads, parks, and other points of interest. As well as changing the style of these features, you can also hide features entirely. This means that you can emphasize particular components of the map or make the map complement the content of your app.
