Jetpack Compose - How to Add Multiple Markers to Google Maps

Last updated Oct 31, 2021

In this Jetpack compose tutorial we will cover how to add Markers to the Google Maps with Jetpack Compose. In the Previous example we covered how to Load Google Maps with Jetpack Compose.

To add Markers to the Google Maps we have to create instance of MarkerOptions. This MarkerOptions has properties like

Title,Position,Icons...

Once ready with MarkerOptions instance we will add it to map by addMarker() method

 

Let's get Started

Step 1: Create Jetpack Compose project with Andorid studio.

Step 2: Add required dependencies in build.gradle file

Read previous example How to setup and Load Google Maps with Jetpack Compose

Step 3: Create Map Instance

AndroidView(
    {mapView}
) { mapView ->
    CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Main).launch {


            mapView.getMapAsync {

}

}

 

Step 4: Create Markers add

Let's create multiple markers

val mark1 = LatLng(17.385, 78.4867) //Hyderabad
val mark2 = LatLng(18.5204, 73.8567) //Hyderabad

it.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(mark1, 12f))
val markerOptions =  MarkerOptions()
    .title("Hyderabad")
    .position(mark1)


val markerOptions2 =  MarkerOptions()
    .title("Pune")
    .position(mark2)

 

Add Multiple Merkers to Map

it.addMarker(markerOptions)
it.addMarker ( markerOptions2 )

 

Step 5: Run the application

Now we can see the Google Maps with multiple markers.
