Android – Google Maps extension – IllegalArgumentException… here is a solution to the problem.
Android – Google Maps extension – IllegalArgumentException
When I call this createMarker() method, I get IllegalArgumentException:
private void createMarker(GoogleMap map, MarkerOptions options, OnMarkerCreateListener listener) {
Log.e("LazyMarker", "Options var val: "+options);
Log.i("LazyMarker", "GoogleMap Value:"+map);
Log.i("LazyMarker", "OnMarkerCreateListener Value:"+listener);
marker = map.addMarker(options);
Log.i("LazyMarker", "The value of Marker is:"+map.addMarker(options));
if (listener != null) {
listener.onMarkerCreate(this);
}
}
This is logcat output:

My MarkerOptions and GoogleMap values are not empty? The problem is in this line:
marker = map.addMarker(options);
When I comment on the line above, it’s good that the app moves on to the next activity. What is my problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Solution
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: no position in marker options
Obviously, your MarkerOptions has no place. Call position() to provide a place to place the marker.
