Multiple line or break line in .snippet (google maps apiv2)

google-maps, google-maps-android-api-2, google-maps-api-2, infowindow

Solution

You need to use a custom InfoWindowAdapter to change the layout of `InfoWindow` to a custom design defined using a layout file. Basically you need to :

- Declare your function using `GoogleMap.setInfoWindowAdapter(Yourcustominfowindowadpater)`

- Have a class like below:

...

class Yourcustominfowindowadpater implements InfoWindowAdapter {
    private final View mymarkerview;

    Yourcustominfowindowadpater() {
        mymarkerview = getLayoutInflater()
            .inflate(R.layout.custominfowindow, null); 
    }

    public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {      
        render(marker, mymarkerview);
        return mymarkerview;
    }

    public View getInfoContents(Marker marker) {
       return null;
    }

    private void render(Marker marker, View view) {
       // Add the code to set the required values 
       // for each element in your custominfowindow layout file
    }
}

Problem

I'm developing in google maps APIv2. The issue that I'm facing now is I only able to add in one line of word in info windows/snippet. But the output that I want is able to display in break line form as example show below. So is there any possible methods to solve it? Example: Coordinate: 03.05085, 101.70506 Speed Limit: 80 km/h ``` public class MainActivity extends FragmentActivity { static final LatLng SgBesi = new LatLng(03.05085, 101.76022); static final LatLng JB = new LatLng(1.48322, 103.69065); private GoogleMap map; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); map = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)) .getMap(); map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(SgBesi) .title("KM D7.7 Sungai Besi") //name .snippet("Coordinate: 03.05085, 101.70506")); //description map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(JB) .title("test") .snippet("Hey, how are you?")); // .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory //set icon // .fromResource(R.drawable.ic_launcher))); // move the camera instantly with a zoom of 15. map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(SgBesi, 15)); // zoom in, animating the camera. map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(15), 2000, null); } } ```
