How to make marker NOT centered in android?

I have a slinding up panel in an activity and i need the panel to be expanded on start, so when I do it it covers up the marker. How do I make the focus of the map be a little higher.
I tried the tilt provided in google map android documentation but it didn't work as I expected.
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
this.googleMap = googleMap;
LatLng temp = new LatLng(46.8182, 8.2275);
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(temp, 8.0f));
}
I need the map to be a little higher. So the marker shouldn't be centered as many questions here ask. I need it to be NOT centered.

Use this
final CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(temp) // Sets the center of the map to Mountain View
.zoom(13) // Sets the zoom
.bearing(90) // Sets the orientation of the camera to east
.tilt(30) // Sets the tilt of the camera to 30 degrees
.build();

The answer to this is using setPadding in google maps.
googleMap.setPadding(leftPx, topPx, rightPx, bottomPx);

GooleMap.setMapType(MAP_TYPE_HYBRID) not working

Method here:
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
mMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_HYBRID);
LatLng position = new LatLng(x, y);
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(position, 15));
geoJsonLayer.addLayerToMap();
}
When I choose: MAP_TYPE_HYBRID, MAP_TYPE_SATELLITE or MAP_TYPE_TERRAIN - map is opened, shape is shown (with JSON), but no background - just small squares, no image.
MAP_TYPE_NORMAL - is working good - getting map image, roads etc. + shape on it.
Where is the problem?

Problem solved by reinstalling application

show particular country as default in google map android

Is there any way by which we can show the particular country as default country in google map?
I have tried with the centre of some of the countries but it seems tedious.
I have only country name say "India" and I need to do is, show "India" in focus when the app gets open.

In your onMapReady() function set
LatLngBounds boundsIndia = new LatLngBounds(new LatLng(23.63936, 68.14712), new LatLng(28.20453, 97.34466));
int padding = 0; // offset from edges of the map in pixels
CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(boundsIndia, padding);
mMap.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);
When you open your map you will see only India country on map.
You can do it for any other countries.

This shows Sydney and puts a marker on it https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/map-with-marker
public class MapsMarkerActivity extends AppCompatActivity
implements OnMapReadyCallback {
// Include the OnCreate() method here too, as described above.
#Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
// Add a marker in Sydney, Australia,
// and move the map's camera to the same location.
LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-33.852, 151.211);
googleMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney)
.title("Marker in Sydney"));
googleMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
}
}

android camera position, google maps

Hi I have the above code which animates the camera to a certain location. Is there anyway that I could move the camera position to a different position once it has finished the animation from the first location ? I am trying an if statement but it doesn't work.
for instance:
CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(1stlocation)
.zoom(12)
.bearing(300)
.tilt(30)
.build();
map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.green))
.position(1st Location)
.flat(true)
.rotation(245));
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition ),
30000, null);
//if statement to change the position of the camera when it reaches the first location then move it to another.
CameraPosition campos = map.getCameraPosition();
if(campos == cameraPosition )
{
map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(2ndloc, 3));
}

Register for a call back onFinish, then just call your next animation. You could chain them with a simple counter.
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(cameraPositiom), new CancelableCallback(){
#Override
public void onFinish(){
googleMap.getUiSettings().setScrollGesturesEnabled(true);
}
#Override
public void onCancel(){
googleMap.getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(true);
}
});

how to move camra to a specific marker in google maps v2 in android

I am able to display a marker as well as showing it with zoom and camera setting when first time user is viewing the map. But my requirement is to move the camera to same marker position(when user want) if user goes away from that marker position(marker gets off-screen) during his/her visit.

Having a reference to the GoogleMap object and to the Marker, you can simply use
GoogleMap mMap;
Marker mMarker;
[...]
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(mMarker.getPosition(), 14));
(where you would substitute the "14" for your desired level of zoom).
Just attach that line to the OnClick event of the button that the user will click to "get back" to the marker... and you're done! ;)

Thanks for replies,
but i was looking for some native Map component to perform the map marker reset task rather than an external button to navigate back to desired marker location. I got this working with the latest update in Map Api(to have setOnMyLocationButtonClickListener) Using below code:-
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
LatLng markerLoc=new LatLng(companyDetail.getLatitude(), companyDetail.getLongitude());
final CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(markerLoc) // Sets the center of the map to Mountain View
.zoom(13) // Sets the zoom
.bearing(90) // Sets the orientation of the camera to east
.tilt(30) // Sets the tilt of the camera to 30 degrees
.build(); //
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(companyDetail.getLatitude(), companyDetail.getLongitude())).title("Marker"));
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
mMap.setOnMyLocationButtonClickListener(new OnMyLocationButtonClickListener() {
#Override
public boolean onMyLocationButtonClick() {
mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newCameraPosition(cameraPosition));
return true;
}
});

you can use [animateCamera][1] function of GoogleMap object
GoogleMap googleMap = (SupportMapFragment) getActivity().getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map).getMap();
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(marker.getPosition()));
[1]: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/GoogleMap#animateCamera%28com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdate%29

You can also use like this :
LatLng cur_Latlng=new LatLng(21.0000,78.0000); // giving your marker to zoom to your location area.
gm.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(cur_Latlng));
gm.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(4));
// another method is to use current location
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, 4);
gm.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);
Marker myMarkerthirtyfour = gm.addMarker(new MarkerOptions()
.position(latLng)
.title("You are here")
.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_RED)));
locationManager.removeUpdates(this);
}
