Marker click default behaviour

[webalchemist]

There appears to be a default click behaviour on markers which centres the map on the marker location.

Is there a way to remove this?

I would essentially like to be able to make a marker non-clickable.

Google Maps Android API v2 does not provide the way. Thus, this plugIn does not.

Use GroundOverlay with your marker image instead of marker.

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, a GroundOverlay won't work for me. I need the Marker to stay upright and not rotate with the map - they have numbers on then and need to be read easily.

I've had a look and it is possible to do this within Google Maps Android API v2. See the following discussion of the subject:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14497734/dont-snap-to-marker-after-click-in-android-map-v2

It appears that what I have to do is to create a click event handler on the marker that does nothing but returns true to prevent the default handler from running.

The plugin currently seems to have a hardcoded return from the event handler of false (GoogleMaps.java line 954). Would it be possible to change this function so that it returns the result from the javascript handler (defaulting to false).

Ah, i forgot the return value.
By the way, the ground overlay is clickable in this plugin.

Cordova does not support the mechanism that returns value from javascript.

Well, I guess that leaves me hacking it!

I can manually change GoogleMaps.java line 954 to return true. This does stop the event bubbling-up and blocks the default behaviour.

Implemented in v1.2.0

I added the disableAutoPan property for map.addMarker().
You can also change via marker.setDisableAutoPan( true / false )

Please try the new version of the plugin.
This problem should be fixed.

That's great!
I'll give version 1.2 a try and let you know.
When do you expect 1.2 to have a full release version?

Works perfectly on Android (haven't tried iOS)
