Android Google Maps Tutorial Ep 4: Creation Flow - Kotlin Android Studio Development
This video (episode 4 of 7) starts to build the creation flow which allows the user to add a new map to the list. One thing I forgot to mention in the video is that you can easily set the marker to be draggable by doing this:
mMap.addMarker(MarkerOptions().position(latLng).title(title).snippet(description).draggable(true))
When the user taps on the floating action button, we use the Android intent system to navigate to a new activity (screen) where the user can long-press to add places on the map. We also go over how to delete a marker on the map and how to use a SnackBar for user education.

Overview:
In these videos, we build an app which displays a map showing markers of important places. You can also create a map which gets saved to a file and can be retrieved when the app is opened. This app helps you keep track of places that matter to you, whether they’re vacation ideas or places you’ve lived.
