Problem

I want to draw text in default marker of Google map v2. I have done this by taking my own image from drawable but how can i change it in default marker. my code is ``` marker.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory .fromBitmap(drawTextToBitmap(getApplicationContext(), R.drawable.images,"5"))); ``` and `drawTextToBitmap`methods is. ``` public static Bitmap drawTextToBitmap(Context gContext,int gResId,String gText) { Resources resources = gContext.getResources(); float scale = resources.getDisplayMetrics().density; Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(resources, gResId); android.graphics.Bitmap.Config bitmapConfig = bitmap.getConfig(); if(bitmapConfig == null) { bitmapConfig = android.graphics.Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888; } bitmap = bitmap.copy(bitmapConfig, true); Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap); Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG); paint.setColor(Color.BLACK); paint.setTextSize((int) (15 * scale)); paint.setShadowLayer(1f, 0f, 1f, Color.WHITE); Rect bounds = new Rect(); paint.getTextBounds(gText, 0, gText.length(), bounds); int x = (bitmap.getWidth() - bounds.width())/2; int y = (bitmap.getHeight() + bounds.height())/2; canvas.drawText(gText, x * scale, y * scale, paint); return bitmap; } ``` i want to draw text like that
