Map marker on Google Android Maps API v2 with set bounds

Question

In APIv1 I was drawing markers like this:

    Drawable flag = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.flagfinish);
    flag.setBounds(0, -flag.getIntrinsicHeight(), flag.getIntrinsicWidth(), 0);

and it was working - left bottom corner of picture was in center of LatLng. But how could I draw something like this in APIv2? I tried this:

Marker hc = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
        .position(HC)
        .title("Hlohovec")
        .snippet("Hlohovec")
        .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.flagfinish)));

but this is moved to left (I want to draw a flag with pole on left so this doesn't pin it where I want).

Is there any possible way to do this? And I don't want to use GroundOverlayOptions because it is changing with zoom.

Thanks for any answers.

Answer 1

you need to change the Anchor position of the marker image when you create the marker

from the docs:

The point on the image that will be placed at the LatLng position of the marker. This defaults to the middle of the bottom of the image.
