I want to set the map view zoomed to 1km radius but cant figure out how?
The doc says that the zoom level 1 will map earths equator to 256 pixels. So how do I calcul
FINAL working solution:
public static void getZoomForMetersWide(GoogleMap googleMap, int mapViewWidth, LatLng latLngPoint, int desiredMeters) {
DisplayMetrics metrics = App.getAppCtx().getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
float mapWidth = mapViewWidth / metrics.density;
final int EQUATOR_LENGTH = 40075004;
final int TIME_ANIMATION_MILIS = 1500;
final double latitudinalAdjustment = Math.cos(Math.PI * latLngPoint.latitude / 180.0);
final double arg = EQUATOR_LENGTH * mapWidth * latitudinalAdjustment / (desiredMeters * 256.0);
double valToZoom = Math.log(arg) / Math.log(2.0);
googleMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLngPoint, Float.valueOf(String.valueOf(valToZoom))), TIME_ANIMATION_MILIS , null);
}
p.s. Using @sho answer and @Lionel Briand comment
although this answer is logical and i find it working but the results are not accurate i dont know why but i tired this approach and this technique is far more accurate.
1) Make a circle on object with desired radius
Circle circle = mGoogleMap.addCircle(new CircleOptions().center(new LatLng(latitude, longitude)).radius(getRadiusInMeters()).strokeColor(Color.RED));
circle.setVisible(true);
getZoomLevel(circle);
2) Pass that object to this function and set the zoom level Here's a link
public int getZoomLevel(Circle circle) {
if (circle != null){
double radius = circle.getRadius();
double scale = radius / 500;
zoomLevel =(int) (16 - Math.log(scale) / Math.log(2));
}
return zoomLevel;
}
