Place icons indicate the various types of places (for example coffee shops, libraries, and museums). You can request URLs for icons in PNG format, as well as the corresponding icon background color, with Current Place, and Place Details (New) requests.
To request an icon image and background color for a place, include the following fields in your request:
Place.Field.ICON_MASK_URL
Place.Field.ICON_BACKGROUND_COLOR
The following examples demonstrate using the icon image and background color from a Current Place or Place Details request:
Kotlin
// Set the image view's background color to match the place's icon background color imageView.setBackgroundColor(place.iconBackgroundColor) // Fetch the icon using Glide and set the result in the image view Glide.with(this) .load(place.iconUrl) .into(imageView)
Java
// Set the image view's background color to match the place's icon background color imageView.setBackgroundColor(place.getIconBackgroundColor()); // Fetch the icon using Glide and set the result in the image view Glide.with(this) .load(place.getIconUrl()) .into(imageView);
Fields
Each Place icon contains these fields:
ICON_MASK_URL
returns the base URL for a non-colored PNG icon.ICON_BACKGROUND_COLOR
returns the default color code for the place's category.
Place icon and background color requests
The following tables show all of the available place icons by category. By default these display with a black glyph. The icon background color is dictated by the place's category.
