BitmapDescriptor
Defines a Bitmap image. For a marker, this class can be used to set the image of the marker icon.
For a ground overlay, it can be used to set the image to place on the surface of the earth. To
obtain a BitmapDescriptor use the factory class BitmapDescriptorFactory.
Example of setting the icon of a marker BitmapDescriptor.
GoogleMap map = ... // get a map.
// Add a marker at San Francisco with an azure colored marker.
Marker marker = map.add(new MarkerOptions()
.position(new LatLng(37.7750, 122.4183))
.title("San Francisco")
.snippet("Population: 776733"))
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_AZURE));
