Android Google Maps v2 - set zoom level for myLoca

Question

Is it possible to change the zoom level for myLocation with the new Google Maps API v2? If you set GoogleMap.setEnableMyLocation(true); you get a button on the map to find your location. If you click on it, the map will bring you to your location and zoom it in to some level. Can I change this zoom to be less or more?

Answer 1

Even i recently had the same query....some how none of the above mentioned setmaxzoom or else map:cameraZoom="13" did not work So i found that the depenedency which i used was old please make sure your dependency for google maps is correct this is the newest use this

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:11.8.0' 

Answer 2

with location - in new GoogleMaps SDK:

mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(chLocation,14));

Answer 3

Here are the approximate zoom levels and what they do :

1: World
5: Landmass/continent
10: City
15: Streets
20: Buildings

so you could do something like this to zoom to street level for example :

 override fun onMapReady(googleMap: GoogleMap?) {
    googleMap?.mapType = GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL
    googleMap?.addMarker(MarkerOptions()
            .position(LatLng(37.4233438, -122.0728817))
            .title("cool place")

            .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.defaultMarker(BitmapDescriptorFactory.HUE_ROSE)))

    googleMap?.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(LatLng(37.4233438, -122.0728817), 15f))

Answer 4

You can also use:

mMap.animateCamera( CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo( 17.0f ) );    

To just change the zoom value to any desired value between minimum value=2.0 and maximum value=21.0.

The API warns that not all locations have tiles at values at or near maximum zoom.

See this for more information about zoom methods available in the CameraUpdateFactory.

Answer 5

Slightly different solution than HeatfanJohn's, where I change the zoom relatively to the current zoom level:

// Zoom out just a little
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(map.getCameraPosition().zoom - 0.5f));

Answer 6

In onMapReady() Method

change the zoomLevel to any desired value.

float zoomLevel = (float) 18.0;
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, zoomLevel));
