Along with title and snippet how to add extra data to marker?

Solution

Not the best solution but this what I do in my application.

create markersMap as a private field in your activity/fragment.

private Map<Marker, ExtraDataObj> markersMap = new HashMap<Marker, ExtraDataObj>();

When you generate marker also put the marker and extra data in your markersMap

ExtraDataObj extraDataObj = new ExtraDataObj();
// extract and store all data you want in the extraDataObj
....
...
..
Marker marker = gMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
                        .title(e.getString("name"))
                        .snippet(
                                e.getString("LS")+""+e.getString("ph") )
                        .position(new LatLng(lng1, lat1))
                        .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory
                                .fromResource(R.drawable.pmr)));
markersMap.put(marker, extraDataObj);

in your onInfoWindowClick get extra data from the markersMap

ExtraDataObj extraDataObj = markersMap.get(arg0)

Problem

Problem : My remote server returns 10 multiple value for a request.i parsed my response and using for loop i added markers(here i added info to title and snippet) on a map.(here i want to add extra data to marker so that i can access it in on info window click event) in infoWindowClickListener i want to access that extra data. How to add extra data to marker/ how to access ph data for a particular marker click(other wise i will get last value of ph in all markers). i tried like this. ``` private class HttpGetTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> { //URL and http stuff } @Override protected void onPostExecute(String result) { try { json = new JSONArray(result); for (int i = 0; i < json.length(); i++) { Log.v("Response", result); final JSONObject e = json.getJSONObject(i); String point = e.getString("point"); Log.v("POINT", point);//Checking points String phone1 = e.getString("ph"); Log.v("PH", phone1);//Checking phone numbers String[] point2 = point.split(",");//Splitting points double lat1 = Double.parseDouble(point2[0]); double lng1 = Double.parseDouble(point2[1]); Log.v("LLDN", "" + lat1 + "&" + lng1); //Adding multiple markers //can i add extra information here along with title and snippet gMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions() .title(e.getString("name")) .snippet( e.getString("LS")+""+e.getString("ph") ) .position(new LatLng(lng1, lat1)) .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory .fromResource(R.drawable.pmr))); } } catch (JSONException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } ``` is it possible to attach extra value to a marker, along with title and snippet.? or am i parsing in wrong way.?
