Hi,
I'm facing an issue with Google maps and custom bitmaps as marker icons and
I'm a little confused if I'm doing the thing the wrong way or there's
something wrong happening either with Google maps component or with the
Xamarin - JVM bridge.
1. I'm placing a huge quantity of markers on the map.
Hi.
I may be wrong, but I velibe its normal.
When you are giving a resource as bitmap, i think it will reuse the same bitmap
all the time, so you have 900 markers, but only a bitmap. But with your
function you are creating 900 bitmaps, so you are eating a lot of memory. Also
you arent disposin
Augustin,
Thanks for replying. I actually did try to call Recycle and Dispose on the
bitmaps, also nulling instances and GC.Collect a bit. None of those worked.
And adding to the fact that it didn't work, it also slowed things a lot
(kind of expected).
However, I did went to the trouble of making
Well, md will eat some resources, so it may be a combination of too many
bitmaps plus the md overhead...
A way to avoid this, is using custom overlays and draw it by yourself, load the
initial bitmap in memory and on the draw of the overlay draw the image and the
text, in this way you will not
API v1 had a way of doing this, there was an onDraw overridable for the
marker. I don't know how to do that in the current maps API version or if
it's even possible.

Wow, you are right, the new api gives no facility to do this... Its been a lot
since i used google maps...
Well, only thing i can think now is to use two markers, one with the marker
itself, using the image from a resource, and another one with the text, in this
way you can measure the size of
