Google Maps API v3: Can I setZoom after fitBounds?

Question

I have a set of points I want to plot on an embedded Google Map (API v3). I\'d like the bounds to accommodate all points unless the zoom level is too low (i.e., zoomed out

I don't like to suggest it, but if you must try - first call

gmap.fitBounds(bounds);

Then create a new Thread/AsyncTask, have it sleep for 20-50ms or so and then call

gmap.setZoom( Math.max(6, gmap.getZoom()) );

from the UI thread (use a handler or the onPostExecute method for AsyncTask).

I don't know if it works, just a suggestion. Other than that you'd have to somehow calculate the zoom level from your points yourself, check if it's too low, correct it and then just call gmap.setZoom(correctedZoom)
