I'm adding markers to my map from a url using the Picasso library
As a marker isn't an ImageView I tried to use a Target instead
for(int x =0; x < mapIcon_url.length; x++){
Picasso.with(getActivity()).load(mapIcon_url[x]).resize(marker_size, marker_size+15).into(new Target() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(Bitmap b) {
bitmapMarker = BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(b);
//create marker option
if(b != null)
markerOptions = new MarkerOptions().position(marker_position).icon(bitmapMarker));
else
markerOptions = new MarkerOptions().position(marker_position).icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.placeholder_pin)).snippet(String.valueOf(x));
marker = map.addMarker(markerOptions);
}
@Override
public void onError() {
//create marker option
markerOptions = new MarkerOptions().position(marker_position).icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.placeholder_pin)).snippet(String.valueOf(x));
marker = map.addMarker(markerOptions);
}
});
}
I'm doing this in a loop to add about 20 markers but I find that on first run of the code only 5 or 7 markers are added so I've switched to using the lib and an AsyncTask like this.
for(int x =0; x < mapIcon_url.length; x++){
new AddMarker().execute(mapIcon_url[x]);
}
public class AddMarker extends AsyncTask<String, Integer, BitmapDescriptor> {
BitmapDescriptor bitmapMarker1;
VenueDetails myVenue;
@Override
protected BitmapDescriptor doInBackground(String... url) {
myUrl = url[0];
try {
bitmapMarker1 = BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(Picasso.with(getActivity()).load(myUrl).resize(marker_size, marker_size+15).get());
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return bitmapMarker1;
}
protected void onPostExecute(BitmapDescriptor icon) {
try {
map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(marker_position).icon(icon)));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
However I'm a bit worried this method could give me some issues when I have alot of markers say about 100. My question would be is this the best way to do this and if not what other options can I try.
