InfoWindow for cluster

[aaronkelly6]

Hi guys,

Great work on this lib, it's so good. I have a problem though. I have ried for hours and tried every conceivable combination I think of to get a cluster items info window to show.

My scenario is I have a cluster item which has it's info window displayed, when I zoom out it get's clustered and I lose the marker and the infowindow. Ideally I would like my 'selected' marker to not cluster but if I could populate the cluster's infowindow with the info that was on the item marker that would be fine too but as I said I just can't get it to display at all. I've tried the simplest of edits in the custom cluster demo but no joy.

Can anyone get a clusters infowindow to display?

Thanks,

Aaron

" but if I could populate the cluster's infowindow with the info that was on the item marker that would be fine too"

I think, if you return a false to the method (override) onClusterClick of your class that implements ClusterManager.OnClusterClickListener, you will be able to show the related InfoWindow

To "prepare" what needs to be shown in the InfoWindow, I think you need to override the method onBeforeClusterRendered in your renderer class...

You are the man! Thanks so much. Is there somewhere I should have read that?

FYI the preparation requires markerOptions.visibility(true) to be called just where you said.

Again, many thanks, I'd never have figured that out.

This is probably deserving of a code sample :)

Actually, turns out that returning false wasn't necessary after all...

Just setting the markerOptions visibility did the trick on it's own...

I didn't like it in the end..sorry(!)...not pretty enough. So I ended up adding a temp marker to the raw map in onBeforeClusterRendered and popping it's infowindow with the stuff that was already there and make sure to remove it when another marker is clicked. Hacky but looks good.

Ideally if we could flag a marker as 'active' i.e. last clicked or has infowindow showing or something and have the cluster manager NOT cluster it then that would obsolete this workaround.

Thanks again for your help.
