Tile Layer - Opacity

[bFlood]

please add getOpacity() and setOpacity() to the TileLayer class

also, would it also be possible to support custom tile layers?

@bFlood , Sorry, but Google Maps Android API v2 does not support setOpacity() for TileLayer.
Thus, I can not implement it.

And what is the custom tile layer?
Do you want to show your tile as base tile layer?
Just specify map.setMapTypeId(plugin.google.maps.MapTypeId.NONE);

wow, that's amazing, seems like an odd omission since its supported on groundOveraly in the Android API. thx for the info

iOS supports it, maybe you can use something like this on android side when needed

custom tile layer - this would be useful for custom, in memory drawing to the map (heat maps, dynamic overlays etc.)
on android, someway to implement a custom TileProvider

on iOS, someway to implement GMSSyncTileLayer

Thank you for letting me know.
I will consider this.

I added the opacity property to map.addTileOverlay(), and the setOpacity() method for TileOverlay.

thanks! was opacity added to the core android sdk?

nevermind, I see you added the custom tileprovider to handle this on android. thank you masashi, really great work!
