AdvancedMarkerOptions.CollisionBehavior

  • AdvancedMarkerOptions.CollisionBehavior is an annotation in the Google Maps Android SDK that dictates how markers behave during collisions.

  • It offers three constants: REQUIRED, REQUIRED_AND_HIDES_OPTIONAL, and OPTIONAL_AND_HIDES_LOWER_PRIORITY to manage marker priority and visibility.

  • These constants control whether a marker is always displayed, displayed and hides optional markers, or can be hidden by higher-priority markers.

  • Developers use CollisionBehavior to fine-tune marker display in crowded map areas, ensuring important markers are visible.
public static abstract @interface AdvancedMarkerOptions.CollisionBehavior implements Annotation

Indicates how the marker is dealt with when involved in a collision with other markers or base map labels.

Constant Summary

int OPTIONAL_AND_HIDES_LOWER_PRIORITY Set if the marker may be replaced/overlapped by a required marker or replaced by an OPTIONAL_AND_HIDES_LOWER_PRIORITY marker with higher priority.
int REQUIRED Set if the marker must be placed and may be overlapped with other markers or labels.
int REQUIRED_AND_HIDES_OPTIONAL Set if the marker must be placed and will hide any OPTIONAL_AND_HIDES_LOWER_PRIORITY markers or labels that would overlap with the marker.

Constants

public static final int OPTIONAL_AND_HIDES_LOWER_PRIORITY

Set if the marker may be replaced/overlapped by a required marker or replaced by an OPTIONAL_AND_HIDES_LOWER_PRIORITY marker with higher priority.

Constant Value: 2

public static final int REQUIRED

Set if the marker must be placed and may be overlapped with other markers or labels. This is the default behavior.

Constant Value: 0

public static final int REQUIRED_AND_HIDES_OPTIONAL

Set if the marker must be placed and will hide any OPTIONAL_AND_HIDES_LOWER_PRIORITY markers or labels that would overlap with the marker. It may be overlapped with other required markers.

Constant Value: 1
