Question

Is there a way I can put a value of a String inside the Marker\'s icon on Google Maps API 2.0? Like this image

Answer 1

You can use the Google Maps API Utility Library and customize you markers using bubble icons:

IconGenerator iconFactory = new IconGenerator(this);

MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions().
    icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(iconFactory.makeIcon("Your text"))).
    position(new LatLng(-33.8696, 151.2094)).
    anchor(iconFactory.getAnchorU(), iconFactory.getAnchorV());
