How to change the position of My Location Button in Google Maps using android studio

Question

you can use this

View locationButton = ((View) mMapView.findViewById(Integer.parseInt("1")).getParent()).findViewById(Integer.parseInt("2"));
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rlp = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) locationButton.getLayoutParams();
// position on right bottom
rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0);
rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
rlp.setMargins(0, 180, 180, 0);

I solved this problem in my map fragment by re positioning my location button to the right bottom corner of view using code below, here is my MapsActivity.java :-

import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;

import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.OnMapReadyCallback;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;

public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {

    private GoogleMap mMap;
    View mapView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.fragment_map);
        // Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
        SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
                .findFragmentById(R.id.map);
        mapView = mapFragment.getView();
        mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
            }

    /**
     * Manipulates the map once available.
     * This callback is triggered when the map is ready to be used.
     * This is where we can add markers or lines, add listeners or move the camera. In this case,
     * we just add a marker near Sydney, Australia.
     * If Google Play services is not installed on the device, the user will be prompted to install
     * it inside the SupportMapFragment. This method will only be triggered once the user has
     * installed Google Play services and returned to the app.
     */
    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
        mMap = googleMap;
        mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);

        // Add a marker in Sydney and move the camera
        LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);
        mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in Sydney"));
        mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));

        if (mapView != null &&
                mapView.findViewById(Integer.parseInt("1")) != null) {
            // Get the button view
            View locationButton = ((View) mapView.findViewById(Integer.parseInt("1")).getParent()).findViewById(Integer.parseInt("2"));
            // and next place it, on bottom right (as Google Maps app)
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams)
                    locationButton.getLayoutParams();
            // position on right bottom
            layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0);
            layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
            layoutParams.setMargins(0, 0, 30, 30);
        }

    }
}

And here is layout of fragment :-

<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context="com.infogird.www.location_button_reposition.MapFragment">

    <fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
        xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
        android:id="@+id/map"
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        />
</FrameLayout>

I hope, this will solve your problem. Thanks.

Kotlin version of accepted answer (for bottom-right) (because autoconvert fails with this code)

 val locationButton= (mapView.findViewById<View>(Integer.parseInt("1")).parent as View).findViewById<View>(Integer.parseInt("2"))
 val rlp=locationButton.layoutParams as (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams)
 // position on right bottom
 rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP,0)
 rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM,RelativeLayout.TRUE)
 rlp.setMargins(0,0,30,30);

You can use below code for all conditions such as: 1.If you want show location button in top-right 2.If you want show location button in bottom-right 3.If you want show location button in bottom-left

1.If you want to show location button in top-right

View locationButton = ((View) mapView.findViewById(Integer.parseInt("1")).getParent()).findViewById(Integer.parseInt("2"));
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rlp = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) locationButton.getLayoutParams();
            // position on right bottom
            rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0);
            rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, RelativeLayout.TRUE);

2.If you want show location button in bottom-right

 View locationButton = ((View) mapView.findViewById(Integer.parseInt("1")).getParent()).findViewById(Integer.parseInt("2"));
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rlp = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) locationButton.getLayoutParams();
            // position on right bottom
            rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0);
            rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, RelativeLayout.TRUE);rlp.setMargins(0,0,30,30);

3.If you want show location button in bottom-left

 View locationButton = ((View) mapView.findViewById(Integer.parseInt("1")).getParent()).findViewById(Integer.parseInt("2"));
            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rlp = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) locationButton.getLayoutParams();
            // position on right bottom


            rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
            rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
            rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT, 0);
            rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0);

             rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_END, 0);
            rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_END, 0);
            rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT);
            rlp.setMargins(30, 0, 0, 40);

Best of Luck

Kotlin Version for MapFragment of Accepted Answer

val locationButton = (mapFragment.view?.findViewById<View>(Integer.parseInt("1"))?.parent as View).findViewById<View>(Integer.parseInt("2"))
                    val rlp =  locationButton.getLayoutParams() as RelativeLayout.LayoutParams
                    rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0)
                    rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, RelativeLayout.TRUE)
                    rlp.setMargins(0, 0, 30, 30)
