Android Native - Location indicator

Location indicator​

Enabling user location indicator will render a view on the map that shows the device's current location.

Enable the default user location indicator using the following code:

mapView.map.locationComponent.apply {
    cameraMode = CameraMode.TRACKING_COMPASS
    renderMode = RenderMode.COMPASS
}

Change view style​

There are several options to customize the appearance of the location indicator using UserLocationStyle.

  • By modifying colors of default userLocationViewStyle:

    mapView.locationManager.userLocationViewStyle = UserLocationViewStyle(
        foregroundTintColor = Color.parseColor("#FFC0CB"),
        backgroundTintColor = Color.BLACK,
        bearingTintColor =  Color.GREEN,
        outOfActiveLevelStyle = UserLocationViewStyle.OutOfActiveLevelStyle(
            foregroundTintColor = Color.WHITE,
            bearingTintColor = Color.RED,
            alpha = 0.5F
        )
    )

  • By modifying drawables of default userLocationViewStyle:

    mapView.locationManager.userLocationViewStyle = UserLocationViewStyle(
        foregroundDrawable = R.drawable.custom_user_puck_icon,
        backgroundDrawable = R.drawable.background,
        bearingDrawable = R.drawable.custom_user_arrow,
        outOfActiveLevelStyle = UserLocationViewStyle.OutOfActiveLevelStyle(
            foregroundDrawable = R.drawable.custom_user_puck_icon,
            bearingDrawable = R.drawable.custom_user_arrow
        )
    )
