Take a look at the documentation here:

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/map#configure_initial_state

The way to do it is slightly different depending on whether you are adding the map via XML or programmatically. If you are using XML, you can do it as follows:

If you are doing it programmatically, you can do the following:

CameraPosition cameraPosition = new CameraPosition.Builder()
    .target(new LatLng(-33, 150))
    .zoom(13)
    .build();
MapFragment.newInstance(new GoogleMapOptions()
    .camera(camera));
