Hide markers info window in android google maps API v2

Question

Currently I was able to view all my markers in Google maps using Android Google maps API v2.

Adding my marker in map:

mapView.addMarker
     (new MarkerOptions()
      .position(aUsersLocation).
      icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(aUserImage))
      .snippet(My_VALUE_1)
      .title(My_VALUE_2)
     .hideInfoWindow();

I have several markers and assigned few values (My_VALUE_1 and My_VALUE_2) to each marker's snippet and title. When user clicks a marker, I need these unique value and I will receive these values in onMarkerClick listener as:

        @Override
        public boolean onMarkerClick(Marker theMarker) 
        {
            String aValue1 = theMarker.getSnippet();
            String aValue2 = theMarker.getTitle();
            theMarker.getPosition().latitude...
           ...
            return false;
        }

My question is: as I am adding the snippet and title values to the marker, when user clicks the marker, infoWindow is displayed.

I need to hide the marker's infoWindow. I tried with hideInfoWindow, but it seems to be not working.

Any suggestions please.

Thank You.

return true;

from onMarkerClick to disable default behavior of showing info window and centering on the marker.

By the way, if you'd still like to keep the map center animation to the marker (but just want to keep the info window hidden), just add `mapView.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(marker.getPosition()));` before you `return true;` – saschoar Jul 12 '13 at 11:03
Thank you both very much for your answer/comment! – deimos1988 Mar 19 '14 at 14:41
What if I just wanted to show info window but not move center animation. can you please suggest solution for that problem. – Hitesh Dhamshaniya Nov 15 '16 at 09:53
@HiteshDhamshaniya Then I guess you call `marker.showInfoWindow()` and `return true` which indicates the click is handled by your code. – MaciejGórski Nov 15 '16 at 13:28

If you use clusters, write so:

private var clusterManager: ClusterManager<SomeClusterItem>? = null

override fun onMapReady(googleMap: GoogleMap) {
    this.googleMap = googleMap

    clusterManager = ClusterManager(context!!, googleMap)
    ... // Other clusterManager and clusterRenderer initializations.

    clusterManager!!.setOnClusterItemClickListener { item ->
        // selectMarker(item)
        true // false, if you want to show InfoWindow.
    }
}
