How to draw transparent circles on Google Maps API

Question

I try to draw circles on the Google Maps API, which are transparent.

CircleOptions circleOptions = new CircleOptions()
        .center(new LatLng(lat, lon))
        .radius(50.0)
        .strokeColor(Color.TRANSPARENT)
        .strokeWidth(1)
        .fillColor(Color.CYAN); // 

But I like to draw them transparently, so that I can see the map behind? How could I do that?

Answer 1

For mGoogleMap as GoogleMap object, with latitude longitude given as

LatLng currentLatLon = new LatLng(lat double value, lng double value);

This is the way to draw circle in google maps

mGoogleMap.addCircle(new CircleOptions()
                    .center(currentLatLon)
                    .radius(150)
                    .strokeColor(Color.RED)
                    .fillColor(0x220000FF)
                    .strokeWidth(5)
                    );
