Set custom marker on Google Map

This exercise will help to set custom marker instead of default marker.🚩

Something like in the screenshot below

To set an custom marker you can use the previous exercise - Draw Polyline on GoogleMap of Google Maps Android API v2

And make an edit on set marker on it.

Place where the marker is set
MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
        markerOptions.position(latLng);
        markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(getMarkerBitmapFromView(R.drawable.pulis, context)));

Custom Marker function[getMarkerBitmapFromView(int,context)]
public static Bitmap getMarkerBitmapFromView(@DrawableRes int resId, Context context, int check) {
        View customMarkerView = ((LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE)).inflate(R.layout.view_custom_marker, null);

        CircleImageView markerImageView = customMarkerView.findViewById(R.id.profile_image);
        markerImageView.setImageResource(resId);
        customMarkerView.measure(View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED, View.MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
        customMarkerView.layout(0, 0, customMarkerView.getMeasuredWidth(), customMarkerView.getMeasuredHeight());
        customMarkerView.buildDrawingCache();
        Bitmap returnedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(customMarkerView.getMeasuredWidth(), customMarkerView.getMeasuredHeight(),
                Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(returnedBitmap);
        canvas.drawColor(Color.WHITE, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN);
        Drawable drawable = customMarkerView.getBackground();
        if (drawable != null)
            drawable.draw(canvas);
        customMarkerView.draw(canvas);
        return returnedBitmap;
    }

For CircleImageView - add the dependency
implementation 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:2.2.0'

For marker icon you can use 9-patch image - its better
