In mapbox, how do you change your location's annotation icon?

Question

I know I can set the icon of other annotations / markers using:

 new MarkerOptions().icon(myIcon)

My question for you is how do I modify my location marker?

Answer 1

You can use IconFactory :

IconFactory iconFactory = IconFactory.getInstance(<activity context>);
new MarkerOptions().icon(iconFactory.fromResource(<drawable resource>));

Or you can customize bitmap icon while adding icon into Marker by using IconFactory.recreate() method, example scaled bitmap:

Icon icon    = iconFactory.fromResource(<drawable resource>);
Icon newIcon = IconFactory.recreate(icon.getId(), Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(icon.getBitmap(), 35, 35, false));

Answer 2

If you look at the API, in an example, you can use this code

mapView.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
    .position(new LatLng(41.885, -87.679)));

The marker will be at the specified coordinates
