How do i get the text on marker when i click on it?

I have added the text to the marker using marker options

 TextView text = new TextView(context);
    text.setText(" "+assetName+" ");
    text.setTextColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.color_white));
    IconGenerator generator = new IconGenerator(context);
    generator.setColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.colorAccent));
    generator.setContentView(text);
    generator.setRotation(360);
    Bitmap icon = generator.makeIcon();

    MarkerOptions tp = new MarkerOptions().position(latLng).icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(icon));
    MapFragment.googleMap.addMarker(tp);

Now i want the text "iqbal" on the marker when i click on it.

Marker options doesnt have tag attribute. So you have to give the tag feature to the marker

        TextView text = new TextView(context);
        text.setText("Some Text Here");
        text.setTypeface(Typeface.DEFAULT_BOLD);
        IconGenerator generator = new IconGenerator(context);
        generator.setBackground(context.getDrawable(R.color.cyan_800_overlay));
        generator.setContentView(text);
        generator.setStyle(IconGenerator.STYLE_BLUE);
        Bitmap icon = generator.makeIcon();
        MarkerOptions tp = new MarkerOptions()
                .position(latLng)
                .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(icon));
        Marker marker = mMap.addMarker(tp);
        marker.setTag(Some Tag Here);

You can't get the text from the marker because your text is inside a generated bitmap. However, you can save the text and anything you can need in the marker tag:

 TextView text = new TextView(context);
    text.setText(" "+assetName+" ");
    text.setTextColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.color_white));
    IconGenerator generator = new IconGenerator(context);
    generator.setColor(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.colorAccent));
    generator.setContentView(text);
    generator.setRotation(360);
    Bitmap icon = generator.makeIcon();

    MarkerOptions tp = new MarkerOptions().position(latLng)
                             .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromBitmap(icon))
                             .tag(text);
    Marker marker = MapFragment.googleMap.addMarker(tp);

And then

String text = marker.getTag().toString()
