How can user add multiple marker on google maps flutter

Issue

How can the user add multiple markers when user long press on the map. in this code, I’ve done single map. when user long press on the map it will automatically add one marker but I don’t know how I can add multiple markers on the map. I tried lots of codes but I am not getting the proper result. hope you understand the question. your small help can make my day. Thanks in advance.

Here is the code I’ve tried 🙂

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:geocoder/geocoder.dart';
import 'dart:async';

import 'package:google_maps_flutter/google_maps_flutter.dart';

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

const kGoogleApiKey = "API_KEY";

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(title: "MAP", home: BspAddressmapscreen());
  }
}

class BspAddressmapscreen extends StatefulWidget {
  BspAddressmapscreen({Key key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  _BspAddressmapscreenState createState() => _BspAddressmapscreenState();
}

class _BspAddressmapscreenState extends State<BspAddressmapscreen> {
  final homeScaffoldKey = GlobalKey<ScaffoldState>();
  Completer<GoogleMapController> _controller = Completer();

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
  }

  double zoomVal = 5.0;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return new Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        leading: IconButton(
            icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_back_ios),
            onPressed: () {
              /*NavigationHelper.navigatetoBack(context);*/
            }),
        centerTitle: true,
        title: Text("Business Address Detail"),
        actions: <Widget>[
          IconButton(
            icon: Icon(Icons.search),
            onPressed: () {},
          ),
        ],
      ),
      bottomNavigationBar: Container(
        color: Colors.transparent,
        height: 56,
        child: Row(

          children: <Widget>[
            new FlatButton.icon(
              icon: Icon(Icons.arrow_back_ios),

              shape: RoundedRectangleBorder(
                borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(7),
              ),
              onPressed: () {
                getUserLocation();
              },
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
      body: Container(
        height: double.infinity,
        width: double.infinity,
        child: Stack(
          children: <Widget>[
            _searchbar(),

      final coordinates =
          new Coordinates(value.position.latitude, value.position.longitude);
      var addresses = await Geocoder.google(kGoogleApiKey)
          .findAddressesFromCoordinates(coordinates);

      print("Address: ${addresses.first.featureName}");
      print("Address: ${addresses.first.adminArea}");
    });
  }

  Future<void> _minus(double zoomVal) async {

  }

  Map<MarkerId, Marker> markers = <MarkerId, Marker>{};

  Widget _buildGoogleMap(BuildContext context) {
    return Container(
      height: MediaQuery.of(context).size.height,
      width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width,

        },
        markers: Set<Marker>.of(markers.values),
        onLongPress: (LatLng latLng) {
          // creating a new MARKER

          final MarkerId markerId = MarkerId('4544');
          final Marker marker = Marker(
            markerId: markerId,
            position: latLng,
          );

          setState(() {
            markers.clear();
            // adding a new marker to map
            markers[markerId] = marker;
          });
        },

  Widget _searchbar() {
    return Positioned(

      right: 15.0,
      left: 15.0,
      child: Container(

        width: double.infinity,
        decoration: BoxDecoration(
            borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10.0), color: Colors.white),
        child: TextField(
          decoration: InputDecoration(

              iconSize: 30.0,
            ),
          ),
          onChanged: (val) {
            setState(() {
              // searchAddr = val;
            });
          },
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Solution

Let’s start with creating a helper function that creates a new marker and adds it to the markers map.

 onLongPress: (LatLng latLng) {
          // creating a new MARKER

          var markerIdVal = markers.length + 1;
          String mar = markerIdVal.toString();
          final MarkerId markerId = MarkerId(mar);
          final Marker marker = Marker(markerId: markerId, position: latLng);

          setState(() {
            markers[markerId] = marker;
          });
        },
