I am working on Google Map Markers in Flutter.
On the click of each Marker, I want to show a Custom Info Window which can include a button, image etc. But in Flutter there is a property TextInfoWindow
which only accept String
.
How can i achieve adding buttons, images to the map marker's InfoWindow
.
I stumbled across the same problem just today, I couldn't get a multiline string to show properly in TextInfoWindow. I ended up circumventing the problem by implementing a modal bottom sheet (https://docs.flutter.io/flutter/material/showModalBottomSheet.html) that shows when you click on a marker, which in my case worked out quite nicely.
I can also imagine many use cases where you'd want to fully customize the marker's info window, but reading this issue on GitHub (https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/23938) it looks like it's currently not possible, because the InfoWindow is not a Flutter widget.
Stumbled across this problem and found a solution which works for me:
To solve it I did write a Custom Info Widget, feel free to customize it. For example with some shadow via ClipShadowPath.

Here’s a solution to create custom marker that doesn’t rely on InfoWindow. Although, this approch won’t allow you to add a button on custom marker.
Flutter google maps plugin lets us use image data / asset to create a custom marker. So, this approach uses drawing on Canvas to create a custom marker and using PictureRecorder to convert the same to a picture, which later on would be used by google maps plugin to render a custom marker.
Sample code to draw on Canvas and convert the same to Image data that can be used by the plugin.
void paintTappedImage() async {
final ui.PictureRecorder recorder = ui.PictureRecorder();
final Canvas canvas = Canvas(recorder, Rect.fromPoints(const Offset(0.0, 0.0), const Offset(200.0, 200.0)));
final Paint paint = Paint()
..color = Colors.black.withOpacity(1)
..style = PaintingStyle.fill;
canvas.drawRRect(
RRect.fromRectAndRadius(
const Rect.fromLTWH(0.0, 0.0, 152.0, 48.0), const Radius.circular(4.0)),
paint);
paintText(canvas);
paintImage(labelIcon, const Rect.fromLTWH(8, 8, 32.0, 32.0), canvas, paint,
BoxFit.contain);
paintImage(markerImage, const Rect.fromLTWH(24.0, 48.0, 110.0, 110.0), canvas,
paint, BoxFit.contain);
final Picture picture = recorder.endRecording();
final img = await picture.toImage(200, 200);
final pngByteData = await img.toByteData(format: ImageByteFormat.png);
setState(() {
_customMarkerIcon = BitmapDescriptor.fromBytes(Uint8List.view(pngByteData.buffer));
});
}
void paintText(Canvas canvas) {
final textStyle = TextStyle(
color: Colors.white,
fontSize: 24,
);
final textSpan = TextSpan(
text: '18 mins',
style: textStyle,
);
final textPainter = TextPainter(
text: textSpan,
textDirection: TextDirection.ltr,
);
textPainter.layout(
minWidth: 0,
maxWidth: 88,
);
final offset = Offset(48, 8);
textPainter.paint(canvas, offset);
}
void paintImage(
ui.Image image, Rect outputRect, Canvas canvas, Paint paint, BoxFit fit) {
final Size imageSize =
Size(image.width.toDouble(), image.height.toDouble());
final FittedSizes sizes = applyBoxFit(fit, imageSize, outputRect.size);
final Rect inputSubrect =
Alignment.center.inscribe(sizes.source, Offset.zero & imageSize);
final Rect outputSubrect =
Alignment.center.inscribe(sizes.destination, outputRect);
canvas.drawImageRect(image, inputSubrect, outputSubrect, paint);
}
once the marker is tapped, we can replace the tapped image with the new image generated from Canvas. Sample code for the same taken from google maps plugin example app.
void _onMarkerTapped(MarkerId markerId) async {
final Marker tappedMarker = markers[markerId];
if (tappedMarker != null) {
if (markers.containsKey(selectedMarker)) {
final Marker resetOld =
markers[selectedMarker].copyWith(iconParam: _markerIconUntapped);
setState(() {
markers[selectedMarker] = resetOld;
});
}
Marker newMarker;
selectedMarker = markerId;
newMarker = tappedMarker.copyWith(iconParam: _customMarkerIcon);
setState(() {
markers[markerId] = newMarker;
});
tappedCount++;
}
}

How to convert a flutter canvas to Image.
Flutter plugin example app.
Bellow is 4 step I had implemented for custom InfoWindow on my project
Step 1: Create a stack for GoogleMap and Info Window Custom.
Stack(
children: <Widget>[
Positioned.fill(child: GoogleMap(...),),
Positioned(
top: {offsetY},
left: {offsetX},
child: YourCustomInfoWidget(...),
]
Step 2: When user click Marker calculator position of marker on screen with func:
screenCoordinate = await _mapController.getScreenCoordinate(currentPosition.target)
Step 3: Calculator offsetY, offsetX and setState.
Relate issue: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/41653
devicePixelRatio = devicePixelRatio = Platform.isAndroid? MediaQuery.of(context).devicePixelRatio: 1.0;
offsetY = screenCoordinate?.y?.toDouble() ?? 0)/devicePixelRatio - infoWidget.size.width
offsetX = (screenCoordinate?.x?.toDouble() ?? 0)/devicePixelRatio - infoWidget.size.height,
Step 4: Disable Marker auto move camera when tap
Marker(
...
consumeTapEvents: true,)
