Animated icon for marker/style.

[danielchh]

How can I set an animated image to a marker on Android?
I need at least something like this https://maplibre.org/maplibre-gl-js/docs/examples/add-image-animated/
I would love to use Animated Vector Drawable, but a custom view w/ onDraw method would also work.

I've tried replicating the LocationComponent animation, but it looks like it goes deep into native code through SymbolLocationLayerRenderer and it's kinda overwhelming.

Can I avoid using native code for this?
If not, can you point me in the direction of where to start?

You can update images. It is asynchronous so it may not be super suitable for animations, but you can give it a try.

I've ended up with a solution by using additional annotations as animation elements and altered their alpha, scale, etc via ValueAnimator.
