How to draw circle around a pin using Google MAps API v2

Question

I am using the new API(Google Map API V2) for my android application, i have done creating the map and adding markers to it, now my task is to manually create a circle around an

Answer 1

This is better:

    double radiusInMeters = 100.0;
     //red outline
    int strokeColor = 0xffff0000;
    //opaque red fill
    int shadeColor = 0x44ff0000; 


    CircleOptions circleOptions = new CircleOptions().center(position).radius(radiusInMeters).fillColor(shadeColor).strokeColor(strokeColor).strokeWidth(2);
    mCircle = map.addCircle(circleOptions);

    MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions().position(position);
    mMarker = map.addMarker(markerOptions);

I have been working on this too and I found the following solution. It's still not perfect, because I had to make a very large Canvas to prevent the edge of the circle from becoming blurry.

private void addCircleToMap() {

    // circle settings  
    int radiusM = // your radius in meters
    double latitude = // your center latitude
    double longitude = // your center longitude
    LatLng latLng = new LatLng(latitude,longitude);

    // draw circle
    int d = 500; // diameter 
    Bitmap bm = Bitmap.createBitmap(d, d, Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas c = new Canvas(bm);
    Paint p = new Paint();
    p.setColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.green));
    c.drawCircle(d/2, d/2, d/2, p);

    // generate BitmapDescriptor from circle Bitmap
    BitmapDescriptor bmD = BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(bm);

// mapView is the GoogleMap
    mapView.addGroundOverlay(new GroundOverlayOptions().
            image(bmD).
            position(latLng,radiusM*2,radiusM*2).
            transparency(0.4f));
}

-- EDIT -- Google updated the API. You can now easily add a circle to your map: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/shapes?hl=nl#circles

Perhaps help you :

 GoogleMap map;
 // ... get a map.
 // Add a circle in Sydney
 Circle circle = map.addCircle(new CircleOptions()
     .center(new LatLng(-33.87365, 151.20689))
     .radius(10000)
     .strokeColor(Color.RED)
     .fillColor(Color.BLUE));

Google made is simple in maps v2. The snippet below demonstrates both drawing markers and circles along with updating their positions together.

private Circle mCircle;
private Marker mMarker;
private GoogleMap mGoogleMap;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    mGoogleMap = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.mapFragment)).getMap();
    mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
    mGoogleMap.setOnMyLocationChangeListener(new GoogleMap.OnMyLocationChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onMyLocationChange(Location location) {
            LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
            if(mCircle == null || mMarker == null){
                drawMarkerWithCircle(latLng);
            }else{
                updateMarkerWithCircle(latLng);
            }
        }
    });
}

private void updateMarkerWithCircle(LatLng position) {
    mCircle.setCenter(position);
    mMarker.setPosition(position);
}

private void drawMarkerWithCircle(LatLng position){
    double radiusInMeters = 100.0;
    int strokeColor = 0xffff0000; //red outline
    int shadeColor = 0x44ff0000; //opaque red fill

    CircleOptions circleOptions = new CircleOptions().center(position).radius(radiusInMeters).fillColor(shadeColor).strokeColor(strokeColor).strokeWidth(8);
    mCircle = mGoogleMap.addCircle(circleOptions);

    MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions().position(position);
    mMarker = mGoogleMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
}

Using this method you can select any marker & it will create the circle object for particular marker. you can dynamically change radius of the circle by passing the marker object & radius value to the createCircle() method.

 private GoogleMap mMap;
    /*Create circle objects*/
    Circle currentCircle;
     /**
     * create circle when user want to set region
     * @param currentMarker this is user selected marker
     * @param radius pass radius value to circle object
     */
    private void createCircle(Marker currentMarker ,Double radius){


          //check circle is exist or not 
               //if exist remove
               if(currentCircle!=null){
                 currentCircle.remove();
                 }
        currentCircle=mMap.addCircle(new CircleOptions().center(currentMarker.getPosition()).radius(radius)
            .strokeColor(Color.parseColor("#FF007A93"))
            .fillColor(Color.parseColor("#40007A93"))
            .strokeWidth(2));
        float zoomLevel = getZoomLevel(radius);
        mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(currentMarker.getPosition(), zoomLevel));
    }
