Im working on a small app and have implemented Google Maps and Place api. Currently im able to see all my markers on the map and clustering works fine. Im able to zoom in the clusters open up and im able to see the markers. I have a spinner that has different types and once selected that type is passed to the places search string.
This is the code I have so far
Currently im able to see just the red markers but i was wondering if theres a way to have a different markers depending on the type selected from the spinner, For example if i select Hospital then the markers are shown as little hospital icons, if i select ATM, then a little ATM icon appears.
Any help will be appreciated

}Currently im able to see just the red markers but i was wondering if theres a way to have a different markers depending on the type selected from the spinner, For example if i select Hospital then the markers are shown as little hospital icons, if i select ATM, then a little ATM icon appears.
Any help will be appreciated
