Marker disappearing and title not showing

I am trying to add a marker on my Google maps by long-pressing on the location and displaying the name of the location, however, whenever I long-press the marker appears for a split second and then goes away (disappears).
I understand after the long-press the marker is supposed to stay and then show the title as well, but that is not working.
Please do let me know if anyone is facing any such issue and can help me with it.

}
}

You are clearing your map every time your location changes here:
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
centerMapOnLocation(location, "Your Location");
}
That's why your marker disappears right after you add it to the map. If you remove or comment out this line within your centerMapOnLocation method:
mMap.clear();
Then the markers no longer disappear.
Hope this helps!

How to track friends location?

How to stop a google map from continuously re-Centering at my location

My problem is related to Google Maps in android. when moving the camera at any point, it returns to my original location instantly, How can I stop that? , You can find my code below
The map starts normally and then for some reason it relocates it self to my original location when i try to navigate the map.

Anyone can fix this.
Thanks

You are centering to your location, each time there is a location update.
locationlistener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
centerMpOnLocation(location, "your Location");
}
...
}
Remove centerMpOnLocation(location, "your Location"); or change your logic.

Cant move in google maps activity. It always return to my current location

I'm working on app which include google maps activity.
My problem is:
When I'm trying to move around in the map or zoom in & out it immediately return to my current location. Also when I search for location, new marker added at the searched location but immediately goes back to my current location.

UPDATE:
I think I found what was the problem.
I just disabled the mMap.moveCamera() inside onLocationChanged() and it works just fine.
Now Im wondering if its ok to do so? its still keep the camera on my current location when I Drive for example?

In your search code you are adding marker every time in the loop
for (int i = 0 ; i < addressList.size(); i++){
Address myAddress = addressList.get(i);
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(myAddress.getLatitude(), myAddress.getLongitude());
markerOptions.position(latLng);
mMap.clear();
mMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng,11));
}
In the same code, you are moving the camera to a specific location mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng,11))
mMap.addMarker() will add a new marker to map.
mMap.moveCamera() will move the focus to the given location.
Check with your implementation.
Hope it helps:)
