Determine if Polygon is Within Map Bounds

Question

I have a big list of polygons (consisting of google maps polygon options) which I would like to check if they are within the bounds of the screen before drawing them.

How do I determine if the polygon is within the screen bounds.

Something like this:

   List<PolygonOptions> polygons = getPolygons();

    LatLngBounds bounds = map.getProjection().getVisibleRegion().latLngBounds;

    for (int l = 1; l <= polygons.size(); l++) {
        if (bounds.Contains(polygons.get(l))) {
            map.addPolygon(polygons.get(l));
        }
    }

I suppose that you don't need to check if each point from polygon are visible - you should do it for only four points that can be easily calculated:

And every time when the user moves the map you should put on the map polygons whose rectangular border is inside visible bounds; something like this:

@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    map = googleMap;
    map.setOnCameraChangeListener(new GoogleMap.OnCameraChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onCameraChange(CameraPosition cameraPosition) {
            showPolygons();
        }
    });
    showPolygons();
}

private void showPolygons() {
    if (map == null) return;
    final LatLngBounds bounds = map.getProjection().getVisibleRegion().latLngBounds;
    for (PolygonOptionsWrapper wrapper : wrappers) {
        if (wrapper.within(bounds)) {
            if (!wrapper.isAdded()) {
                wrapper.addTo(map);
            }
        } else {
            if (wrapper.isAdded()) {
                wrapper.removeFrom(map);
            }
        }
    }
}
