I might have skipped some documentation about flutter_map plugin, but I could not find any way to use a simple .png image as a custom icon for a Mapbox marker?
Should I maybe use another plugin? Or is there a way to do what I attempted to do?
You can do that with the mapbox_gl plugin by calling
MapboxMapController.addSymbol(
SymbolOptions(
geometry: LatLng(latitude, longitude),
iconImage: iconImage,
);
You can use the name of one of your asset images as iconImage or the name of one of the icons included in your style (e.g. 'defaultMarker' should be included in every style).
There is also an example of this in the place_symbol.dart file of the plugin's example project.

Basically what I have is a constant of Color(0xFF3B7097) and I want to change the default color of marker in google maps to it. I dont want to use the default colors variable in BitmapDescriptor is their any other way?
BitmapDescriptor.defaultMarkerWithHue(Color(0xFF3B7097)),
you can do this by using asset image:
icon: BitmapDescriptor.fromAssetImage(ImageConfiguration(devicePixelRatio: 2.5), 'assets/markers/Queen-blue.png')
I'm using a library that draws barcodes and under them it drows the barcode number, however it draws text just in black color. I found the code that chooses the color during this operations, however when I try to change this code library from Colors.black to Colors.white and I save it, it doesn't save for some reason. So I suppose there is a different way to modify code from library, but I don't know how.
#Gabriel, You can easily copy .dart files from the package/library you're using to your project and modify the code to your liking. For e.g. if you are using https://pub.dev/packages/toggle_switch, then you can access the source code from the GitHub location of the package in pub.dev and download it from GitHub,
You can then copy .dart files from <project>/lib to your <project>/lib and modify them accordingly. Make sure you add reference in the source code to credit the original developers and add their GitHub link.
Good luck!
I was wondering how one could use his own icons in a Flutter-Mapbox plugins' marker?
There's no default marker icon (no provided icon - no marker),
and there's not enough documentation on how to use a custom image.
adding a symbol (marker) is as follows:
mapController.addSymbol(
SymbolOptions(
geometry:LatLng(0.0, 0.0), // location is 0.0 on purpose for this example
iconImage: "pin"
)
);
whereas the IconImage, a String, is the field which should contain the data about the icon (obviously), but the given example repository doesn't clarify the needed parameters (url, path etc.).
Providing a path to the assets doesn't work (unlike other widgets). In the example, they provide the IconImage field the value airport-15, and when running the app, it actually works, but I can't seem to find the resources' location (it's not in #drawables or my assets folder, or any other place in the project)
You have to create a custom style on using MapBox Studio.
Create a new dataset if not already exist
Create tileset
Create new style & select customize basic template
Create new layer, give it a name for example my_sym and add newly created datasource
Then click on type & change it to symbol
Now click on my_sym two times. (first one will close the option menu & second one will open a new menu with symbol properties
Click on icon tab & select new icon. You can also upload your own svg icon.
Click on publish
Click on share it will show you the urls.
Copy the type of url & set styleString property.
For more info follow steps here

https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/api/
As of release 0.0.5 it will be possible to load custom icon images for your markers. The idea is to add the icon image to your assets folder (for example: assets/symbols/custom-icon.png). If you specify this image as an asset in your pubspec.yaml and set the iconImage in the SymbolOptions to this path it will be loaded automatically.
Regarding the airport-15, this is an icon provided by the Android implementation of the plugin. It is part of the Maki Icons used in Mapbox. Because these icons are part of the Android implementation you will not find as a Flutter asset or an Android resource of the example app.
I'd like to do exactly what https://api.mapbox.com/styles/v1/zugaldia/cimteac7b00mrb8m7okkkol8d.html?title=true&access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoienVnYWxkaWEiLCJhIjoiY2ltNnI0YXM0MDA0YXR5bHgxOTU0N2h5YyJ9.kBUkyDqT5S1gJOsMIAdJSw#11/38.8993/-77.0146 is doing.
It seems to use the MapBox GL tileset and style to place text on the map. It even shows more text at a zoomed in level.
How do we do that?
Can you point to a detailed example or video that shows the steps for loading the tileset (maybe from a GeoJSON file, etc)
Thanks.
It is really nice that we can do so much without javascript at all :)
This makes it easier for Android and iOS etc.
Notice the text for the School names:
Then when you zoom in, you see the text for the crime:
That is indeed a very nice map, he created it using Mapbox Studio uploading crime and school data as layer sources. You can learn more about creating your own map style by following along with the "design a map" guides. Once you've created a map you'll need to get the style ID by doing this:
(source: mapbox.com)
and then...
(source: mapbox.com)
Now you also mentioned using these maps within your Android or iOS app which is similar to using the api (link you gave above). Follow this example about including Mapbox studio style in your Android app. The example places the style url within XML like so:
<com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.maps.MapView
...
mapbox:style_url="mapbox://styles/<your-account-name>/<your-style-ID>"
/>
Hope this helps!
We are developing a plugin to provide suggestions to developers in their code and we want to highlight it with the help of an icon (similar to the red-x error icon in the image below). What is best to achieve it?
This is a resource marker which you create with something like:
IMarker marker = resource.createMarker(IMarker.PROBLEM);
marker.setAttribute(IMarker.LINE_NUMBER, lineNumber);
// TODO more attributes
where resource is the IFile (or IResource).
