Android: Google Maps API - Change position of maps

Question

I'm using the Google Maps API for Android. The following code enables the maps toolbar in the bottom right corner when I click on a Marker

googleMap.getUiSettings().setMapToolbarEnabled(true); 

However, I'd like this maps toolbar to appear in the TOP RIGHT corner of the map, rather than the default bottom right position.

How would I do this?

Answer 1

Thought of commenting, But has low reputation. So:

As far as I know, there is no way to position it for now. It'll appear at its default position only.

As Nathan said I should add some alternative if possible. So,There is a work around: You can disable the map's toolbar. and can add appcompact's ToolBar anywhere in the layout.

Answer 2

This is an answer that i came across before as to how to move the toolbar to the bottom of the page. I hope this helps you.

//get reference to my location icon
    View locationButton = ((View) mapFragment.getView().findViewById(Integer.parseInt("1")).
            getParent()).findViewById(Integer.parseInt("2"));

    // and next place it, for example, on bottom right (as Google Maps app)
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rlp = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) locationButton.getLayoutParams();
    // position on right bottom
    rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0);
    rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
    rlp.setMargins(0, 0, 30, 30);

EDIT: As per suggestions (of @Andro) this is the code to change the location of the map toolbar:

//get reference to my location icon

 View toolbar = ((View) mapFragment.getView().findViewById(Integer.parseInt("1")).
            getParent()).findViewById(Integer.parseInt("4"));

    // and next place it, for example, on bottom right (as Google Maps app)
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rlp = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) toolbar.getLayoutParams();
    // position on right bottom
    rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0);
    rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
    rlp.setMargins(0, 0, 30, 30);
