Google map v2 Heatmap population

Question

Would it be possible to use a heat map to represent/show the amount of people in the specific area using google map v2?

If not , would there be other library or API that I can use to know represent the amount of people in the area.

Hey here is the example how you can use heatmap and show your max population

Add all marker in your map then use this code.

HeatmapTileProvider mProvider;
TileOverlay mOverlay;
// Add your all lat lng inside this array list and pass it to addHeatMap
List<LatLng> list = new ArrayList<LatLng>();

double puLat = 0, puLng = 0;



    private void createMarker() {
    double cLat, cLng;
    cLat = locationCur.getLatitude();
    cLng = locationCur.getLongitude();

    Marker testMarker = googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
            .position(new LatLng(cLat, cLng)).draggable(true)
            .title("Demanding Areas").flat(false));

    testMarker.showInfoWindow();

   }

    private void addHeatMap() {


    mProvider = new HeatmapTileProvider.Builder().data(list).build();
    mOverlay = googleMap.addTileOverlay(new TileOverlayOptions()
            .tileProvider(mProvider));
}

Hope this will help you
