Adding same marker again after remove() - Android

After I remove a marker from Google Map, using marker.remove(), I want to add the same marker again. Like, I want to Hide and Show the marker.

I don't want to create MarkerOptions every time. Is there a simple way? though there should have been an intuitive way to do this simple thing.

Solution

  • The answer I found is:

    If you just want to hide and show, the use this

    marker.isVisible = true/false     Or    marker.setVisibility(true/false)  //for java

    There is no direct way to add a Removed marker again, unless u keep reference to MarkerOptions. You can save its reference like marker.tag = markerOptions. Although, in the function description of remove() it says it doesnt guarantee any operation on marker after remove() is called. But i think TAG wont go anywhere.
