When my SupportMapFragment onCreateView() method is called, I read the map's

getProjection().getVisibleRegion().latLngBounds.northeast.x

and

getProjection().getVisibleRegion().latLngBounds.southwest.y

The first time I launch the app (in portrait mode), I get x=720 and y=1230. However, after changing the orientation to landscape I'm seeing the same values again.

Going back to portrait mode yields x=1280 and y=670 (which is what I'd expect from landscape), and going back to landscape gives the first numbers again.

It's like the projection is always one orientation change behind.

Any idea what's wrong, and how to fix it?

The problem here is that onConfigurationChanged (which is where I assume you check the x and y values) gets called before the GoogleMap can update its projection.

One way I found around this is to trigger a dummy zoom by 0% which will call onCameraIdle once it is finished (with the updated projection)

Add OnCameraIdleListener:

// add this to your imports
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap.OnCameraIdleListener

// add this to your map-using activity
class MapsActivity implements ..., OnCameraIdleListener { ... }

Then, inside your map-using activity:

@Override
public void onCameraIdle() {
    // ... do something with getProjection() ...
}

@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
    super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);

    // dummy zoom to trigger onCameraIdle with *correct* orientation
    mMap.animateCamera( CameraUpdateFactory.zoomBy(0f) );
}

  • I'm using Kotlin and translated it to Java by hand so feel free to fix it if it does not work =) – xjcl May 24 '20 at 22:11
