Camera Controls

There are multiple ways to control the Camera Position in Mappls SDKs. Following are the methods tha you can use:

Move To Target

This method allows to move the camera towards the target location.

Kotlin

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(LatLng(latitude, longitude)))

Java

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)));

Move To Target with Zoom

This method allows to move the camera towards the target location with a fixed zoom.

Kotlin

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(LatLng(latitude, longitude), zoom))

Java

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(new LatLng(latitude, longitude), zoom));

Move To Target with Padding

This method allows to move the camera towards the target location with padding.

Kotlin

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngPadding(LatLng(latitude, longitude), left, top, right, bottom))

Java

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngPadding(new LatLng(latitude, longitude), left, top, right, bottom));

Move To Bound

This method allows to move the camera towards the target location with view bounds.

Kotlin

val latLngBounds = LatLngBounds.Builder()
    .include(LatLng(lat1, lng1))
    .include(LatLng(lat2, lng2))
    .build()
mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(latLngBounds, left, top, right, bottom))

Java

LatLngBounds latLngBounds = new LatLngBounds.Builder()
            .include(new LatLng(lat1, lng1))
            .include(new LatLng(lat2, lng2))
            .build();
mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(latLngBounds, left, top, right, bottom));

Zoom To

This method allows to zoom the camera to a particular zoom-level. Example, 18/14 etc.

Kotlin

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(zoom))          

Java

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(zoom));

Zoom By

This method allows to zoom the camera to a particular zoom by some amount of zoom level

Kotlin

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomBy(2.0))

Java

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomBy(2.0));

Zoom In

This method allows to zoom in.

Kotlin

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomIn())

Java

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomIn()); 

Zoom Out

This method allows to zoom out.

Kotlin

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomOut())

Java

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomOut());

Bearing To

This method allows to zoom with respect to the bearing.

Kotlin

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.bearingTo(bearing))

Java

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.bearingTo(bearing));

Tilt To

This method allows you to tilt the camera to specefic tilt in degrees eg.,20.

Kotlin

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.tiltTo(tilt))

Java

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.tiltTo(tilt));

Padding To

This method allows to move the camera towards the location with padding.

Kotlin

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.paddingTo(left, top, right, bottom))

Java

mapplsMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.paddingTo(left, top, right, bottom));
