Update single item GoolgeMap Cluster

Question

I am using this libray to cluster GoogleMap in Android. My question is how can I update the single item I have gone through google from yesterday and no answers are there that explains updating single item. I am using websocket in my project so I need to update the data of item that were received from websocket. Look my implementation below.

My concept is doing mClusterManager.remove(item) mClusterManager.add(item) + mClusterManager.cluster() whenever I receive data from websocket.

and hasmap to identify the object on loop while adding to cluseter like : hashmap.put(_id,mClusterItem[i]);

Now, Whenever on websocket data is received I do,

    onDataReceive(String _id,String name, double latlng, ....){
    mClusterManager.remove(hashmap.get(_id));

   appClusterItem[0] = new AppClusterItem(.....);
    mClusterManager.add(appClusterItem[0])  // Here how can I add item 
    mClusterManager.cluster();
    }

However the above code works first when first data receives, then from second time it will just keep adding the marker and fails to remove that means mClusterManager.remove(hasmap.get(_id)) is not found. And appClusterItem[0] is because I cannot use hashmap.get(_id); on above case bacause it give error variable expected. Anyway to remove the same object and add object on that place??

Answer 1

I also tried to remove marker from cluster via mClusterManager.remove and have some problem with it. So in my case, when I received data changes I make this: I remove item that i need to remove from my list, clear all markers on cluster with mClusterManager.clearItems(); and put fresh data to cluster.
