How to center the camera so that marker is at the bottom of screen? (Google map api V2 Android)

Question

When a marker is clicked, the default behavior for the camera is to center it on screen, but because I usually have long text description in the info window, it\'s more conv

I have been trying out all the solutions proposed here, and came with a combined implementation of them. Considering, map projection, tilt, zoom and info window height.

It doesn't really place the marker at the bottom of the "camera view", but I think it accommodates the info window and the marker centre pretty well in most cases.

@Override
public boolean onMarkerClick(Marker marker) {
    mIsMarkerClick = true;
    mHandler.removeCallbacks(mUpdateTimeTask);
    mLoadTask.cancel(true);
    getActivity().setProgressBarIndeterminateVisibility(false);
    marker.showInfoWindow();
    Projection projection = getMap().getProjection();
    Point marketCenter = projection.toScreenLocation(marker.getPosition());
    float tiltFactor = (90 - getMap().getCameraPosition().tilt) / 90;
    marketCenter.y -= mInfoWindowAdapter.getInfoWindowHeight() / 2 * tiltFactor;
    LatLng fixLatLng = projection.fromScreenLocation(marketCenter);

    mMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(fixLatLng), null);

    return true;
}

And then, your custom adapter would have to keep an instance of the info window inflated view, to be able to fetch its height.

public int getInfoWindowHeight(){
    if (mLastInfoWindoView != null){
        return mLastInfoWindoView.getMeasuredHeight();
    }
    return 0;
}
