Remove or move Marker (Mapbox Android)

Question

I'm using Mapbox SDK Android ('com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-sdk:4.1.1@aar' and 'com.mapbox.mapboxsdk:mapbox-android-services:1.1.0@aar'). I use offline map and put markers but remove and setposition dont' work.

I declare in global:

private MapboxMap mapboxMap2;
private MarkerViewOptions marker_inter;

Then in my OnMapReadyCallback(), I save the MapboxMap with:

 public void onMapReady(MapboxMap mapboxMap)
        {
            mapboxMap2 = mapboxMap;

so I'll be able to use it latter.

Also in OnMapReadyCallback I put the marker using:

                marker_inter = new MarkerViewOptions()
                        .position(new LatLng(the_lagps_inter, the_logps_inter))
                        .title("Intervention")
                        .snippet("Desc inter")
                        .icon(iconeInter);
                markerView = mapboxMap.addMarker(marker_inter);

The marker is set correctly. Then on onMapClick(@NonNull LatLng point) I retrieve the coord of the click (which are correct). But:

1) If I try to remove the marker using:

  mapboxMap2.removeMarker(marker_inter);

I get "removeMarker (com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.annotations.Marker) in MapboxMap cannot be applied to (com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.annotations.MarkerViewOptions)"

2) If I try to set a new position using:

    marker_inter.setPosition(new LatLng(the_lagps_inter, the_logps_inter));

I get: "Cannot resolve method 'setPosition(com.mapbox.maboxsdk.geometry.LatLng)"

Note: I import com.mapbox.mapboxsdk.geometry.LatLng;

It seems removeMarker don't work with MarkerViewOptions and that setPosition is no more in geometry.LatLng??

Any idea?

You need to remove the marker using MarkerView not MarkerViewOptions. Change you code to this:

private MarkerView marker_inter;

...

marker_inter = mapboxMap.addMarker(new MarkerViewOptions()
    .position(new LatLng(the_lagps_inter, the_logps_inter))
    .title("Intervention")
    .snippet("Desc inter")
    .icon(iconeInter));

and then try removing the MarkerView and setting it's position.
