How to create a Location arrow Marker with Sensor bearing in Android Google Maps v2?

Issue

I have managed to create an arrow ImageView and get the azimuth from the sensors, after that I rotate the ImageView using setRotation() method of the View class. How I can do this for a marker using Android Google Maps v2 Markers?

Solution

I suggest you take a look at the android-maps-utils project from Google.

It contains

• BubbleIconFactory : Responsible for generating markers
• RotationLayout : Responsible for rotating the contents of the layout (the marker) by multiples of 90 degrees

This should give you the building blocks you need to display your arrow/marker and give it a certain rotation. You'll probably need to customize the rotationlayout a bit.
