In Flutter, how to add a marker on openstreetmap by tapping a screen or clicking a button?

Question

It should be very simple, but I can't seem to find how to do it.

In Flutter / openstreetmap, I need to: (1) put a marker on the map by tapping a map and/or clicking a button; (2) connect two of these markers with a line(s).

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Solution

1) For adding markers:

List<Marker> markers = [];

Inside Build method:

          FlutterMap(
            mapController: _mapController,
            options: MapOptions(
                center: LatLng(41.238250, 69.342939),
                zoom: 9.6,
                onTap: (latlng) {
                  setState(() {
                    markers.add(
                      Marker(
                        width: 150.0,
                        height: 150.0,
                        point: latlng,
                        builder: (ctx) => const Icon(
                          Icons.location_on,
                          color: Colors.red,
                          size: 35.0,
                        ),
                      ),
                    );
                  });
                }),
            layers: [
              MarkerLayerOptions(
                markers: [
                  for (int i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) markers[i]
                ],
              ),
            ],
          ),

2) If you want to get directions between two points, you can use this service, it's free. http://project-osrm.org

The link I am using for getting directions between two points.

https://api.openrouteservice.org/v2/directions/driving-car?api_key=$OSRM_API_KEY&start=${origin.longitude},${origin.latitude}&end=${destination.longitude},${destination.latitude}

It takes, API Key and starting point lat-long and ending point lat-long.

Response gives you multiple lat-long points, and if you give these points to polyLine parameter of map, it will draw you a road line between two points

Let me know if you need any clarification on some part of my answer

you want to get road directions between two points or you want a straight line between two points?

[kokserek]

I want a straight line. Finally, I want to let users build an arbitrary polygone and find markers inside.

[SardorbekR]

yes, List<Marker> markers = []; I updated answer

[kokserek]

Yes, the (1) works! Fantastic! I go ahead. My task is to build a polygon / polyline and let users look at markers inside of it, as I wrote here: stackoverflow.com/questions/66374167/…

@kokserek I have no idea what to do with it yet/
