The most recent version of the play services library adds a setPadding() function to GoogleMap. This padding will project all camera movements to the offset map center. This doc further explains how map padding behaves. The question originally asked here can now simply be solved by adding left padding equivalent to the width of the … Read more
Update: As an alternative solution (which I think is much better) you can use a MapView which is described: here I ran across a similar problem while working with a tabs implementation. With Google Maps V2, you are stuck with the SupportMapFragment, so using the MapView isn’t an option. Between juanmeanwhile’s post and comment #1 … Read more
Of course the proper solution will be for Google to fix the problem (see Android Maps V2 issue 4639: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=4639).

This is how you can set a Drawable as a Marker. BitmapDescriptor icon = BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.current_position_tennis_ball) MarkerOptions markerOptions = new MarkerOptions().position(latLng) .title(“Current Location”) .snippet(“Thinking of finding some thing…”) .icon(icon); mMarker = googleMap.addMarker(markerOptions); VectorDrawables and XML based Drawables do not work with this.
GoogleMap map; …. float zoom = map.getCameraPosition().zoom;
You can get the “My Location” button and move it, like : public class MapFragment extends SupportMapFragment { @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) { View mapView = super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState); // Get the button view View locationButton = ((View) mapView.findViewById(1).getParent()).findViewById(2); // and next place it, for exemple, on bottom right (as … Read more
