PinConfig

  • PinConfig is used to customize the appearance of AdvancedMarker icons in the Maps SDK for Android.

  • It allows developers to set background color, border color, and a central glyph for the marker icon.

  • PinConfig is not applicable to the Navigation SDK but is provided for compatibility with the Maps SDK.

  • A builder pattern is used to create PinConfig instances, making it easy to configure the desired icon style.

  • Default values for colors and dimensions are provided if not explicitly set by the developer.
public class PinConfig extends AbstractSafeParcelable

A class to configure the elements of an AdvancedMarker icon.

This class does not apply to the Navigation SDK. It exists for compile time compatibility with com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps only. 

PinConfig pinConfig = PinConfig.builder()
     .setBackgroundColor(Color.RED)
     .setBorderColor(Color.GREEN)
     .setGlyph(Glyph("A"))
     .build()
 AdvancedMarkerOptions advancedMarkerOptions =
     new AdvancedMarkerOptions()
         .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromPinConfig(pinConfig))
         .position(new LatLng(48, -122))
         .title("A marker with customized background, border, and glyph.");
 map.addMarker(advancedMarkerOptions);
