Custom info window in IOS google maps sdk

Question

being a newby IOS developer, I'm really struggling to get something basic to work.

I have a need to display this kind of custom info window upon a marker click in the google maps sdk for ios.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've already seen the third party components, but even with them I cannot get this to display. There is always a title, snippet, left image and right image part. The real question is how do you get the gold star rating in the window, with the text next to it.

Swift 3.0 Solution

Google Map CustomInfoWindow

//empty the default infowindow
    func mapView(_ mapView: GMSMapView, markerInfoWindow marker: GMSMarker) -> UIView? {
        return UIView()
    }

    // reset custom infowindow whenever marker is tapped
    func mapView(_ mapView: GMSMapView, didTap marker: GMSMarker) -> Bool {

        customInfoView.removeFromSuperview()
    //    customInfoView.button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(buttonTapped(_:)), for: .touchUpInside)
        self.view.addSubview(customInfoView)

        // Remember to return false
        // so marker event is still handled by delegate
        return false
    }

    // let the custom infowindow follows the camera
    func mapView(_ mapView: GMSMapView, didChange position: GMSCameraPosition) {
        if (locationMarker != nil){
            let location = locationMarker.position
            customInfoView.center = mapView.projection.point(for: location)
        }
    }

    // take care of the close event
    func mapView(_ mapView: GMSMapView, didTapAt coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D) {
        customInfoView.removeFromSuperview()
    }

Make Xib as you want...set Text and image

set delegate GMSMapViewDelegate

-(UIView *)mapView:(GMSMapView *)mapView markerInfoWindow:(GMSMarker *)marker{

    CustomInfoWindow *infoWindow=[[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"InfoWindow" owner:self options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];  
     return infoWindow;

}
