Getting the previous camera Latitude and Longitude on Google Maps

Question

Im currently working with google maps on my android app and i need to compare distances when the camera is moved. I can get the current camera latitude and longitude by using the onCameraChange method, however, im struggling with getting the cameras previous latitude and longitude. Any suggestions would be great.

Answer 1

I do not see an existing API to get previous location with Google Maps Camera position api

You can create a prevLat , and prevLong variables. The first time your app starts, in initialization, save the location in these variables. Use these to calculate the distance in onCameraChange , and then update the prevLat, prevLang with current location at the end of onCameraChange .
