OSM - Show current location with custom icon

Can anyone tell me how can I show my current location on OSM map with custom icon?

Solution

  • With default person icon:

    MyLocationNewOverlay myLocationoverlay = new MyLocationNewOverlay(mapView);
myLocationoverlay.enableFollowLocation();
myLocationoverlay.enableMyLocation();
mapView.getOverlays().add(myLocationoverlay);

    With custom icon:

    MyLocationNewOverlay myLocationoverlay = new MyLocationNewOverlay(mapView);
myLocationoverlay.enableFollowLocation();
Drawable currentDraw = ResourcesCompat.getDrawable(getResources(), R.mipmap.ic_launcher, null);
Bitmap currentIcon = null;
if (currentDraw != null) {
    currentIcon = ((BitmapDrawable) currentDraw).getBitmap();
}
myLocationoverlay.setPersonIcon(currentIcon);
myLocationoverlay.enableMyLocation();
mapView.getOverlays().add(myLocationoverlay);

    I am using updated OSM dependency

    compile 'org.osmdroid:osmdroid-android:5.6.5'
