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 custom icon with your text:

Bitmap.Config conf = Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888;
Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(80, 80, conf);
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmp);

// paint defines the text color, stroke width and size
Paint color = new Paint();
color.setTextSize(35);
color.setColor(Color.BLACK);

// modify canvas
canvas.drawText(YOUR_STRING, 30, 40, color);

// add marker to Map
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(USER_POSITION)
    .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(bmp)));
