Remove a circle from Android Google Maps API v2 without clearing map

Question

I am drawing a circle on my map like this:

CircleOptions circle=new CircleOptions();
circle.center(centre);
circle.strokeColor(0xFFFFA420);
circle.strokeWidth(2f);
circle.fillColor(0x11FFA420);
circle.radius(radius);
myMap.addCircle(circle);

To remove this circle, I am calling myMap.clear(), which removes all items added to the map. The question is how to remove this circle without removing all others items on the map?

Try calling remove() on the Circle object that you get back from addCircle(). For Example

Circle mapCircle;
mapCircle = mapView.addCircle(circleOption);

Now when you want to remove Call this method

if(mapCircle!=null){
  mapCircle.remove();
}

Code could be useful.

drawnCircle = map.addCircle(circle);
drawnCircle.remove();

adding a null check on drawCircle will be perfect – anoo_radha Aug 03 '17 at 13:28

Simplest way, you can use : circle.visible(false)
