How to change the position of My Location Button in Google Maps using android studio
you can use this
View locationButton = ((View) mMapView.findViewById(Integer.parseInt("1")).getParent()).findViewById(Integer.parseInt("2"));
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rlp = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) locationButton.getLayoutParams();
// position on right bottom
rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0);
rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
rlp.setMargins(0, 180, 180, 0);
I solved this problem in my map fragment by re positioning my location button to the right bottom corner of view using code below, here is my MapsActivity.java :-
import android.support.v4.app.FragmentActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.RelativeLayout;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.OnMapReadyCallback;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback {
private GoogleMap mMap;
View mapView;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.fragment_map);
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapView = mapFragment.getView();
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
}
/**
* Manipulates the map once available.
* This callback is triggered when the map is ready to be used.
* This is where we can add markers or lines, add listeners or move the camera. In this case,
* we just add a marker near Sydney, Australia.
* If Google Play services is not installed on the device, the user will be prompted to install
* it inside the SupportMapFragment. This method will only be triggered once the user has
* installed Google Play services and returned to the app.
*/
@Override
public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
mMap = googleMap;
mMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
// Add a marker in Sydney and move the camera
LatLng sydney = new LatLng(-34, 151);
mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(sydney).title("Marker in Sydney"));
mMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(sydney));
if (mapView != null &&
mapView.findViewById(Integer.parseInt("1")) != null) {
// Get the button view
View locationButton = ((View) mapView.findViewById(Integer.parseInt("1")).getParent()).findViewById(Integer.parseInt("2"));
// and next place it, on bottom right (as Google Maps app)
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams)
locationButton.getLayoutParams();
// position on right bottom
layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP, 0);
layoutParams.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM, RelativeLayout.TRUE);
layoutParams.setMargins(0, 0, 30, 30);
}
}
}
And here is layout of fragment :-
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context="com.infogird.www.location_button_reposition.MapFragment">
<fragment xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="@+id/map"
android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
/>
</FrameLayout>
I hope, this will solve your problem. Thanks.
Kotlin version of accepted answer (for bottom-right) (because autoconvert fails with this code)
val locationButton= (mapView.findViewById<View>(Integer.parseInt("1")).parent as View).findViewById<View>(Integer.parseInt("2"))
val rlp=locationButton.layoutParams as (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams)
// 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);
