Questions:
Is it possible to get a Bitmap from BitmapDescriptor?
I’m trying to use googles api’s to make my app more seemless but I could make custom Marker option objects instead… I would think that BitmapDescriptor would extend FileDescriptor but I don’t see that.
How to&Answers:
All the BitmapDescriptors come from the BitmapDescriptorFactory.
Example custom marker from imageId in MediaStore.
final BitmapFactory.Options bmOptions = new BitmapFactory.Options();
bmOptions.inSampleSize = 8; //about the size of standard marker
Bitmap bm = MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.getThumbnail(
context.getContentResolver(), newImageId,
MediaStore.Images.Thumbnails.MINI_KIND,
bmOptions);
if (bm != null) {
BitmapDescriptor bd = BitmapDescriptorFactory
.fromBitmap(bm);
if (bd != null) {
markeroptions.icon(bd);
