Change Position Of Google Maps API's "My Location" Button

Answer :

You can get the "My Location" button and move it, like :

public class MapFragment extends SupportMapFragment { @Override public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {     View mapView = super.onCreateView(inflater, container, savedInstanceState);         // Get the button view      View locationButton = ((View) mapView.findViewById(1).getParent()).findViewById(2);      // and next place it, for exemple, 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);     } } 

Just use GoogleMap.setPadding(left, top, right, bottom), which allows you to indicate parts of the map that may be obscured by other views. Setting padding re-positions the standard map controls, and camera updates will use the padded region.

This may not be the best solution, but you could place your own button over the map and handle it yourself. It would take the following:-

1) Put the map in a frameLayout and add your button on top. E.g.

<FrameLayout     android:id="@+id/mapFrame"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent" >        <fragment         xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"         android:id="@+id/mapFragment"         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="fill_parent"         class="com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment"         map:mapType="normal"         map:uiCompass="true" />      <ImageButton         android:id="@+id/myMapLocationButton"         android:layout_width="36dp"         android:layout_height="36dp"         android:layout_gravity="bottom|right"         android:background="@drawable/myMapLocationDrawable"         android:contentDescription="My Location" />  </FrameLayout> 

2) Edit the maps UI settings so the button doesn't appear when you call setMyLocationEnabled(true). You can do this via map.getUiSettings(). setMyLocationButtonEnabled(false);

3) Handle the click of your new button to emulate what the supplied button does. E.g. call mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(...); and pan the map to the current location.

Hope that helps, or hope someone comes a long with a simpler solution for you ;-)
