Question

This is my custom layout for my info window:

Answer 1

try this..

custom_infowindow.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">


<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#80000000" 
android:orientation="vertical">

<ImageView
    android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"

    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:padding="10dp"/>

</LinearLayout> 

</LinearLayout>


googleMap.setInfoWindowAdapter(new InfoWindowAdapter() 
{

        public View getInfoWindow(Marker arg0)
        {
            View v = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.custom_infowindow, null);
            return v;
        }

        public View getInfoContents(Marker arg0) 
        {
           return null;
        }
    });

Answer 2

Replace codes in getInfoContents with getInfoWindow. The difference between them is getInfoContents wraps your View in ViewGroup with default background.

@Override
public View getInfoWindow(Marker marker) {

    // Getting view from the layout file
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.map_popup, null);

    TextView title = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.title);
    title.setText(marker.getTitle());

    TextView address = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.distance);
    address.setText(marker.getSnippet());

    return v;
}

@Override
public View getInfoContents(Marker arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

Answer 3

in addition to the accepted answer i want to mention that if you still want the info window bubble you can use this bubble layout library

then you can set the bubble layout as background of your route view in the custom layout you are inflating.
