How to change the circle color in android map

Question

I have developed a Google based android map application which points my current location and I succeeded in that. But,the marker I am using has a circle in it and it is dark blue in color when it is zoomed in and this is somewhat odd. We can't trace the nearby places to us. I used locationoverlay for this. This is my code:

private void setMaptoLocation(Location location) {
    mapView.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
    mapView.setTraffic(true);
    int LAT = (int) (location.getLatitude() * 1E6);
    int LNG = (int) (location.getLongitude() * 1E6);
    GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(LAT, LNG);
    MapController mapController = mapView.getController();
    mapController.setCenter(point);
    MyLocationOverlay myLocationOverlay = new MyLocationOverlay(this,mapView);
    myLocationOverlay.enableMyLocation();
    mapView.getOverlays().add(myLocationOverlay);
    mapController.animateTo(point);
}

Can anybody do a suggestion please to change the color of the circle / to make it transparent, so that the mapview will be a little more better. Thanks in advance!!!
This is the view that I am getting

In Google Maps API v2, I think the overlay is not required. Now you can change your circle color as follows;

// Create an ellipse centered at Sydney.
    PolygonOptions options = new PolygonOptions();
    int numPoints = 400;
    float semiHorizontalAxis = 10f;
    float semiVerticalAxis = 5f;
    double phase = 2 * Math.PI / numPoints;
    for (int i = 0; i <= numPoints; i++) {
        options.add(new LatLng(SYDNEY.latitude + semiVerticalAxis * Math.sin(i * phase),
                SYDNEY.longitude + semiHorizontalAxis * Math.cos(i * phase)));
    }
//Here you can change the color of the circle market called as "plygon" on Google Maps API v

    mSYDNEYcircle = mMap.addPolygon(new options
            .strokeWidth(float width)
            .strokeColor(Color.BLACK)
            .fillColor(Color.YELLOW));

For more information, please see the Google API v2 Guide.

You can add Circle to the map by using following CircleOption function, its default fill color is transparent. This function will draw the circle around your location:

 map.addCircle(new CircleOptions()
     .center(new LatLng(Your_Location))
     .radius(10000) //radius in meters
     .strokeColor(Color.BLUE); //border color default is black

Above code makes your circle transparent. You can also fill the circle color by using .fillColor(Color.argb()) property in CircleOptions,
