Google Maps - Marker click event not firing - google-maps

Question

I am clearly doing something wrong, but danged if I know what it is. I have the following code where I put a map on a webpage, get the bounds, call back to my system and get locations within the system, and display markers on the map. I would like to display some data when the marker is clicked on, however, I am not getting the click event of a marker to fire. I am clearly missing something, but don't know what it is. Any ideas are appreciated. TIA.
map.setZoom(12);
var Latitude = position.coords.latitude;
var Longitude = position.coords.longitude;
map.setCenter({ lat: Latitude, lng: Longitude });
var bounds = map.getBounds();
var url = "/api/ReportingWeb/NearbyCleanliness";
var lowerLeft = bounds.getSouthWest();
var upperRight = bounds.getNorthEast();
var lat0 = lowerLeft.lat();
var lng0 = lowerLeft.lng();
var lat1 = upperRight.lat();
var lng1 = upperRight.lng();
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var data = { LowerLeftLat: lat0, LowerLeftLng: lng0, UpperRightLat: lat1, UpperRightLng: lng1 };
$.get(url, data, function (result) {
for (var i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {
var address = result[i].Address1 + " " +
(result[i].Address2 != null ? result[i].Address2 : "") +
" " + result[i].City + " " + result[i].Province + " " +
result[i].PostalCode + " " + result[i].Country;
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: geocodeAddress(geocoder, map, address),
map: map,
title: address,
content: address
});
marker.addListener('click', function () {
console.log("clicked");
alert("hi");
});
}
});
function geocodeAddress(geocoder, resultsMap, address) {
geocoder.geocode({ 'address': address }, function (results, status) {
if (status === 'OK') {
resultsMap.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: resultsMap,
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
} else {
alert('Geocode was not successful for the following reason: ' + status);
}
});
}
}

geocodeAddress() is not returning a position, so your marker code is placed incorrectly.
The marker click listener should be set along with the marker-creation code inside geocodeAddress().
You were creating markers in inside geocodeAddress but setting the onclick outside of it, where they weren't working.
map.setZoom(12);
var Latitude = position.coords.latitude;
var Longitude = position.coords.longitude;
map.setCenter({ lat: Latitude, lng: Longitude });
var bounds = map.getBounds();
var url = "/api/ReportingWeb/NearbyCleanliness";
var lowerLeft = bounds.getSouthWest();
var upperRight = bounds.getNorthEast();
var lat0 = lowerLeft.lat();
var lng0 = lowerLeft.lng();
var lat1 = upperRight.lat();
var lng1 = upperRight.lng();
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var data = { LowerLeftLat: lat0, LowerLeftLng: lng0, UpperRightLat: lat1, UpperRightLng: lng1 };
$.get(url, data, function (result) {
for (var i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {
var address = result[i].Address1 + " " +
(result[i].Address2 != null ? result[i].Address2 : "") +
" " + result[i].City + " " + result[i].Province + " " +
result[i].PostalCode + " " + result[i].Country;
//-------need not create markers here------------------
geocodeAddress(geocoder, map, address);
}
});
//-------place marker onclicks inside the function------------------
function geocodeAddress(geocoder, resultsMap, address) {
geocoder.geocode({ 'address': address }, function (results, status) {
if (status === 'OK') {
resultsMap.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: resultsMap,
position: results[0].geometry.location,
title: address,
content: address
});
marker.addListener('click', function () {
console.log("clicked");
alert("hi");
});
} else {
alert('Geocode was not successful for the following reason: ' + status);
}
});
}
}
