Android - Google Maps Extensions - IllegalArgumentException

Question

I'm getting an IllegalArgumentException when I call this createMarker() method:

private void createMarker(GoogleMap map, MarkerOptions options, OnMarkerCreateListener listener) {
    Log.e("LazyMarker", "Options var val: "+options);
    Log.i("LazyMarker", "GoogleMap Value:"+map);
    Log.i("LazyMarker", "OnMarkerCreateListener Value:"+listener);
    marker = map.addMarker(options);
    //Log.i("LazyMarker", "The value of Marker is:"+map.addMarker(options));
    if (listener != null) {
        listener.onMarkerCreate(this);
    }
}

Here is the logcat output:

My MarkerOptions and GoogleMap values aren't null? The issue is with this line:

marker = map.addMarker(options);

When I comment the line out above the app continues to the next activity just fine. What is my issue here? Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: no position in marker options

Apparently, your MarkerOptions does not have a position. Please call position() to supply the position in which to place the marker.

Answer 2

It worked for me,

MarkerOptions mMarkerOptions = new MarkerOptions();
mMarkerOptions.position(new LatLng(lat, lang));
mMarkerOptions.anchor(0.5f, 0.5f);
