How to move the Android Google Maps API Compass Position

Question

Does anyone know if you can change the compass position within the map?

All I can find is how to enable or disable it. But I need to move it down a bit so my overlay

I know it's been a long time that the question was asked , but I feld on this issue a few days ago I fixed the problem like this :

try {
                assert mapFragment.getView() != null;
                final ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup) mapFragment.getView().findViewWithTag("GoogleMapMyLocationButton").getParent();
                parent.post(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        try {
                            for (int i = 0, n = parent.getChildCount(); i < n; i++) {
                                View view = parent.getChildAt(i);
                                RelativeLayout.LayoutParams rlp = (RelativeLayout.LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams();
                                // position on right bottom
                                rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_LEFT, 0);
                                rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_TOP,0);
                                rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_RIGHT);
                                rlp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_PARENT_BOTTOM);
                                rlp.rightMargin = rlp.leftMargin;
                                rlp.bottomMargin = 25;
                                view.requestLayout();
                            }
                        } catch (Exception ex) {
                            ex.printStackTrace();
                        }
                    }
                });
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }

in this exemple i put the compass in the corner right. You need to be sure that your mapFragment is created when you do this, i suggest you run your code in the method "onMapReady" of your MapFragment.
