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

Question

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.

Answer 1

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! ;)

Answer 2

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;
        }
    });
