CameraPosition with bounds using GoogleMap

I'm having a bit of a struggle using CameraPosition because I can't have a proper zoom.
For me, a proper zoom would be the distance between a Marker and my current position.
However, I managed to get a proper zoom using CameraUpdateFactory, but the I lost all the other attributes (orientation (looking always north) and bird-eye (45 degrees view)).
I'm balanced between this (doesn't have the right zoom):
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(current_location)
.zoom(mGoogleMap.getCameraPosition().zoom)
.bearing(location.getBearing())
.tilt(birdEyesAngle)
.build();
and this (right zoom, but missing other attributes):
CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds_between_two_markers, 10);
Is there any way to have both correct zoom and correct orientation/bird-eye ?
Hope you'll help,
Thanks

Try this:
Get the CameraUpdate object first using the newLatLngBounds method:
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds_between_two_markers, 10);
The following code I put in my onMapReady() method:
LatLng pos = new LatLng(51.516667, 12.388889);
LatLng pos1 = new LatLng(53.516667, 14.388889);
MarkerOptions markerOptions = setUserMarker(pos);
if(markerOptions != null) {
markerOptions.title(campusLocationName);
mMap.addMarker(markerOptions);
}
LatLngBounds.Builder b = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
b.include(pos);
b.include(pos1);
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(b.build(), 20);
mMap.animateCamera(cu, 10, new GoogleMap.CancelableCallback() {
#Override
public void onFinish() {
Log.e(TAG, "Start animate onFinish");
CameraPosition cp = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.zoom(mMap.getCameraPosition().zoom)
.target(pos)
.tilt(45.0f)
.bearing(35.0f)
.build();
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cp));
// mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cp));
}
#Override
public void onCancel() {
Log.e(TAG, "Start animate onCancel");
}
});
The result from my device:
Using the CancelableCallBack you can make the changes to the camera position as before, but if you do not change the zoom factor, the camera keeps the old zoom factor, you just set the bearing and tilt as you like.

How to plot the marker in the middle point of the polyline in Google Maps?

I plotted a polyline in a Google Map and I want a marker in the polyline when the polyline is clicked. Then only the marker should appear in the middle of the polyline.
#Override
public void onPolylineClick(Polyline polyline) {
double latitude = polyline.getPoints().get(0).latitude;
double longitude = polyline.getPoints().get(0).longitude;
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)).icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_RED)));
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(new LatLng(latitude, longitude))
.zoom(18).build();
}
With the code above the marker gets plotted only at the first point, but I need it in the middle of the polyline. How can I do that?

You can find the center of a polyline by getting the bound's center.
I haven't executed the code but I hope it will work fine.
public LatLng getPolylineCentroid(Polyline p) {
LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
for(int i = 0; i < p.getPoints().size(); i++){
builder.include(p.getPoints().get(i));
}
LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();
return bounds.getCenter();
}

You can use the extrapolate function that I propose in this solution: How can I extrapolate farther along a road?
double middleDistance = SphericalUtil.computeLength(polyline.getPoints());
LatLng markerPosition = extrapolate(polyline.getPoints(), polyline.getPoints().get(0), middleDistance);
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(markerPosition).icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_RED)));
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(markerPosition)
.zoom(18).build();

MapView.moveCamera() show always the same camera

Hi guys my problem is about mapView. I want to set the camera to a new position but when i call SetNewPosition the log tell to me that coordinates are changed but the mapview on the screen shows always the same place.
public void SetNewPosition(double log,double lat)
{
Log.i("Current position",""+mappa.getCameraPosition());
LatLng latLng= new LatLng(log, lat);
CameraUpdate cameraUpdate= CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng);
mappa.moveCamera(cameraUpdate);
mappa.clear();
map.invalidate();
map.postInvalidate();
Log.i("Changed position",""+mappa.getCameraPosition());
}
Can anyone tell where is my error?

This is what you may want to use :
LatLng latLng = new LatLng (log, lat);
LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder ();
builder.include (latLng);
LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build ();
CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds (bounds, 0);
googleMap.animateCamera (cameraUpdate);

Showing multiple markers in google map v2

i have a set of lat long coordinates. i want to display all of those markers at a time on google map. I know how to display a single marker. But don't know how to display multiples at once. Anybody please help me.
Thank you.
i have lat long points.
like
id = 123 lat = 12.00 lon = 77.00
id = 124 lat = 12.01 lon = 77.01
etc.

May This Help You
for(int pin=0; pin<pins.size(); pin++)
{
LatLng pinLocation = new LatLng(Float.parseFloat(pins.get(pin).latitude), Float.parseFloat(pins.get(pin).longitude));
Marker storeMarker = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(pinLocation)
.title(pins.get(pin).pinname)
.snippet(pins.get(pin).address)
);
}

Try this:
LatLng one = new LatLng(2.40744, 77.014702);//Latitude and long points
LatLng two = new LatLng(2.407440, 77.014702);
.......
Similarly u can use more lat and long
myMarkerOne = gm.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(one)//use LatLng obj
.title("C")
.snippet("dsfd")
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_GREEN)));
myMarkerTwo = gm.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(two)
.title("C")
.snippet("dsfds")
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_GREEN)));
refer this: How to add multiple marker and overlay in v2 google map?
Also check this link:

Create a LatLng object by using following format:
LatLng location = new LatLng(latitude, longitude);
Then call the method with your LatLng object along with your GoogleMap object:
private Marker setCurrentLocation(LatLng location, GoogleMap map) {
BitmapDescriptor bitmapDescriptor = BitmapDescriptorFactory
.fromResource(R.drawable.user_location_pin);
Marker marker = map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(location)
.icon(bitmapDescriptor).title(location.toString()));
return marker;
}

Android maps v2 - get map zoom

I am trying to get the android map to zoom on my marker & leave the marker in the center of the screen.
public void onNewLocation(Location location, String name) {
if (marker == null){
marker = new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(
location.getLatitude(),
location.getLongitude()))
.title(preferencesUtils.getName(getApplicationContext(), preName, key));
}
map.clear();
marker.position(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude()));
map.addMarker(marker);
}
this is the code - what should i add to zoom my marker

To simply zoom in, use:
float zoomLevel = 20.0f;
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(zoomLevel);
To zoom to the marker, use:
LatLng l = new LatLng(LATPOSITION, LONGPOSITION);
float zoomLevel = 20.0f;
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(l, zoomLevel));
Add these where you want the zoom to happen.
