Changing The Position Of Google Maps Supportmapfragment Zoom And My Location Controls Not Work

I'm trying to change the zoom & my location controls positions in Android Google maps. I want to set zoom control position at the right bottom and set my location position at t

Solution 1:

You can find Location button on map by getting parent view first and then "My Location" button as below :

// Get the "My Location" button view ViewlocationButton= ((View) mapView.findViewById(1).getParent()).findViewById(2);

// get button params to place the button
RelativeLayout.LayoutParamslp= (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) locationButton.getLayoutParams();

// place on right bottom corner
rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0);
rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
rlp.setMargins(0, 0, 30, 30);

If want to resize button, you can get parameters like below :

RelativeLayout.LayoutParamslp=newRelativeLayout.LayoutParams(100, 100);
//.... do your editing// To set params to button
locationButton.setLayoutParams(lp);

Solution 2:

This code (based on that answer of Vignon) :

voidsetConrolsPositions() {
    try {
        mGoogleMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
        mGoogleMap.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(true);
        mGoogleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(true);

        finalViewGroupparent= (ViewGroup) mMapFragment.getView().findViewWithTag("GoogleMapMyLocationButton").getParent();
        parent.post(newRunnable() {
            @Overridepublicvoidrun() {
                try {
                    Resourcesr= getResources();
                    //convert our dp margin into pixelsintmarginPixels= (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 20, r.getDisplayMetrics());
                    // Get the map compass viewViewmapLocation= mMapFragment.getView().findViewWithTag("GoogleMapMyLocationButton");

                    // create layoutParams, giving it our wanted width and height(important, by default the width is "match parent")
                    RelativeLayout.LayoutParamsrlp=newRelativeLayout.LayoutParams(mapLocation.getHeight(),
                            mapLocation.getHeight());
                    // position on top right
                    rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT);
                    rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT, 0);
                    rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0);
                    rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
                    //give compass margin
                    rlp.setMargins(marginPixels, marginPixels, marginPixels, marginPixels);
                    mapLocation.setLayoutParams(rlp);

                } catch (Exception ex) {
                    ex.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        });
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
    }
}

called from onMapReady():

@OverridepublicvoidonMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
    mGoogleMap = googleMap;

    if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
        intlocationPermission= ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION);
        if (locationPermission != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            setConrolsPositions();
        } else {
            setConrolsPositions();
        }
    } else {
        setConrolsPositions();
    }
}

and onRequestPermissionsResult():

@OverridepublicvoidonRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String permissions[], int[] grantResults) {
    switch (requestCode) {
        case LOCATION_PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE: {
            // If request is cancelled, the result arrays are empty.if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
                setConrolsPositions();
            } else {
            }
            return;
        }
    }
}

worked for me:

without any android:supportsRtl="true" settings.
