GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter

  • GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter allows customization of info windows displayed for markers on a Google Map.

  • It offers two methods: getInfoWindow() to customize the entire info window and getInfoContents() to customize only the content within the default frame.

  • If getInfoWindow() returns a view, it's used for the whole info window; if it returns null, the default frame is used with content from getInfoContents().

  • Changes to views returned by these methods after they're called might not be reflected in the displayed info window.
public static interface GoogleMap.InfoWindowAdapter

Provides views for customized rendering of info windows.

Methods on this provider are called when it is time to show an info window for a marker, regardless of the cause (either a user gesture or a programmatic call to Marker.showInfoWindow(). Since there is only one info window shown at any one time, this provider may choose to reuse views, or it may choose to create new views on each method invocation.

When constructing an info window, methods in this class are called in a defined order. To replace the default info window, override getInfoWindow(Marker) with your custom rendering and return null for getInfoContents(Marker). To replace only the info window contents inside the default info window frame (the callout bubble), return null in getInfoWindow(Marker) and override getInfoContents(Marker) instead.
