Google Maps Api get lat long dynamically

Question

I want to do something like aerophotography simulator as my university project, using Google Maps Api. For this, I need dynamically change viewport of a map, but for this I have to get lat and long of center of my viewport. Is there any way to do that, using Google Maps Api standart functions?

Answer 1

In order to get the coordinates (LatLng) associated with the center point (x,y) of the MapView you can use the method getCameraPosition() .

(Assuming your GoogleMap object is mMap)

LatLng latLng = mMap.getCameraPosition().target;

In order to animate the camera position use the method animateCamera() , something like this:

mMap.animateCamera(location);

where location is the next location you wish to show on the map ( LatLng object).
