Google Maps API: Change default marker image

Navigation
1
Hello, I'm testing the Google Maps API in my android app, and I learned that you can change the default bookmark icon, but when I added my PNG image to the project, the icon got an absurdly large size. How can I do this not to tell you that my image has a resolution of 512x512?

You need to have this image in several dimensions, so the android itself will be charged to raise the best quality depending on the device. Below the required icon sizes:

MDPI - 48px

HDPI - 72px

XHDPI - 96px

XXHDPI - 144px

XXXHDPI - 192px

Then set the location of the image in icon. 

private static final LatLng MELBOURNE = new LatLng(-37.813, 144.962);
  private Marker melbourne = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
                            .position(MELBOURNE)
                            .title("Melbourne")
                            .snippet("Population: 4,137,400")
                            .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.arrow)));
