Quick way to convert the widget to marker, not supposed to work with images.

marker_generator.dart

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'dart:typed_data';
import 'package:flutter/rendering.dart';
import 'dart:ui' as ui;

/// This just adds overlay and builds [_MarkerHelper] on that overlay.
/// [_MarkerHelper] does all the heavy work of creating and getting bitmaps
class MarkerGenerator {
  final Function(List<Uint8List>) callback;
  final List<Widget> markerWidgets;

  MarkerGenerator(this.markerWidgets, this.callback);

  void generate(BuildContext context) {
    WidgetsBinding.instance
        .addPostFrameCallback((_) => afterFirstLayout(context));
  }

  void afterFirstLayout(BuildContext context) {
    addOverlay(context);
  }

  void addOverlay(BuildContext context) {
    OverlayState overlayState = Overlay.of(context);

    OverlayEntry entry = OverlayEntry(
        builder: (context) {
          return _MarkerHelper(
            markerWidgets: markerWidgets,
            callback: (List<Uint8List> bitmapList) {
                callback.call(bitmapList);
                // Remove marker widgets from Overlay when finished
                entry.remove();
              },
          );
        },
        maintainState: true);

    overlayState.insert(entry);
  }
}

can anyone tell me how to use this class
please answer me
Thank you

This is a working simple example, customize for your needs:

import 'dart:async';
import 'dart:ui' as ui;

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:google_maps_flutter/google_maps_flutter.dart';

Future<BitmapDescriptor?> getMarkerIconFromCanvas(String text) async {
  final ui.PictureRecorder pictureRecorder = ui.PictureRecorder();
  final Canvas canvas = Canvas(pictureRecorder);
  final Paint paint1 = Paint()..color = Colors.grey;
  const int size = 100; //change this according to your app
  canvas.drawCircle(const Offset(size / 2, size / 2), size / 2.0, paint1);
  TextPainter painter = TextPainter(textDirection: TextDirection.ltr);
  painter.text = TextSpan(
    text: text, //you can write your own text here or take from parameter
    style: const TextStyle(
        fontSize: size / 4, color: Colors.black, fontWeight: FontWeight.bold),
  );
  painter.layout();
  painter.paint(
    canvas,
    Offset(size / 2 - painter.width / 2, size / 2 - painter.height / 2),
  );

  final img = await pictureRecorder.endRecording().toImage(size, size);
  final data = await img.toByteData(format: ui.ImageByteFormat.png);
  final imageData = data?.buffer.asUint8List();
  if (imageData != null) {
    return BitmapDescriptor.fromBytes(imageData);
  }
  return null;
}

I found a link that explains how to use this class: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52591556/custom-markers-with-flutter-google-maps-plugin

And I updated with null-safety:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

/// [_MarkerHelper] does all the heavy work of creating and getting bitmaps
class MarkerGenerator {
  final Function(List<Uint8List>) callback;
  final List<Widget> markerWidgets;

  MarkerGenerator(this.markerWidgets, this.callback);

  void generate(BuildContext context) {
    WidgetsBinding.instance
        .addPostFrameCallback((_) => afterFirstLayout(context));
  }

  void afterFirstLayout(BuildContext context) {
    addOverlay(context);
  }

  void addOverlay(BuildContext context) {
    OverlayState overlayState = Overlay.of(context);

    late OverlayEntry entry;

    entry = OverlayEntry(
        builder: (context) {
          return _MarkerHelper(
            markerWidgets: markerWidgets,
            callback: (List<Uint8List> bitmapList) {
              callback.call(bitmapList);
              // Remove marker widgets from Overlay when finished
              entry.remove();
            },
          );
        },
        maintainState: true);

    overlayState.insert(entry);
  }
}

@mehmetext I use your code above, when I pass a Image.asset("xxx") to markerWidgets, it can't display the image, but can display Text

      Container(
        color: Colors.green,
        width: 100,
        height: 100,
        child: Row(
          children: [
            Image.asset("images/logo.png", width: 50, height: 50,),
            spaceH(6),
            Text(
              "rain",
              style: const TextStyle(
                  color: Colors.white,
                  fontSize: 16
              ),
            )
          ],
        ),
      )
    ], (List<Uint8List> data) {
             Call the map control here
    }).generate(context);
