Change Google Map Offset Center

Question

I'm trying to set the user location on the map such that it sits about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of the screen, and when the map rotates, it will rotate around this point.

The closest I've got to achieving this is by using the setPadding() method, however, this causes the map to sort of shake when rotated, as the center point sort of 'floats' around where it actually should be. It looks quite ugly

int mapHeight = mapView.getHeight();
googleMap.setPadding(0, mapHeight / 5, 0, 0);

Is there a better way to do this?

Edit: Explained in picture below

Answer 1

You don't need paddings

Change mappoint X and Y values as you need you can call this where you want! may be inside your onLocationChanged like changeOffsetCenter(location.getLatitude(),location.getLongitude());

 public void changeOffsetCenter(double latitude,double longitude) {
            Point mappoint = mGoogleMap.getProjection().toScreenLocation(new LatLng(latitude, longitude));
            mappoint.set(mappoint.x, mappoint.y-100); // change these values as you need , just hard coded a value if you want you can give it based on a ratio like using DisplayMetrics  as well
            mGoogleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(mGoogleMap.getProjection().fromScreenLocation(mappoint)));
        }

output :
