How to add a static map marker in the HERE maps Android sdk?

Question

I would like to make markers that doesn\'t move when the map rotates, exactly like the polylines. My goal is to give the marker a single orientation that never changes even when

You can draw a simple rectangle with both front and back facing sides textured as follows:

    // Two triangles
    FloatBuffer buff = FloatBuffer.allocate(12);
    buff.put(0- delta);
    buff.put(0- delta);
    buff.put(1.f);

    buff.put(0 + delta);
    buff.put(0 - delta);
    buff.put(1.f);

    buff.put(0 - delta);
    buff.put(0 + delta);
    buff.put(1.f);

    buff.put(0 + delta);
    buff.put(0 + delta);
    buff.put(1.f);

    // Two triangles to generate the rectangle. Both front and back face
    IntBuffer vertIndicieBuffer = IntBuffer.allocate(12);
    vertIndicieBuffer.put(0);
    vertIndicieBuffer.put(2);
    vertIndicieBuffer.put(1);
    vertIndicieBuffer.put(2);
    vertIndicieBuffer.put(3);
    vertIndicieBuffer.put(1);
    vertIndicieBuffer.put(0);
    vertIndicieBuffer.put(1);
    vertIndicieBuffer.put(2);
    vertIndicieBuffer.put(1);
    vertIndicieBuffer.put(3);
    vertIndicieBuffer.put(2);

    // Texture coordinates
    FloatBuffer textCoordBuffer = FloatBuffer.allocate(8);
    textCoordBuffer.put(0.f);
    textCoordBuffer.put(0.f);
    textCoordBuffer.put(1.f);
    textCoordBuffer.put(0.f);
    textCoordBuffer.put(0.f);
    textCoordBuffer.put(1.f);
    textCoordBuffer.put(1.f);
    textCoordBuffer.put(1.f);

    // The LocalMesh itself.
    LocalMesh mesh = new LocalMesh();
    mesh.setVertices(buff);
    mesh.setVertexIndices(vertIndicieBuffer);
    mesh.setTextureCoordinates(textCoordBuffer);

    MapLocalModel model = new MapLocalModel();
    model.setMesh(mesh);
    model.setDynamicScalingEnabled(true);
    model.setAnchor(new GeoCoordinate(LATITUDE, LONGITUDE, 0.0));

Attach an image to it for texture, and use MapRenderLisener#onPredraw() to change the pitch and yaw of the local model object to follow the camera.
