Getting map zoom level for given bounds on Android like on JS Google Maps API: map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds)

Question

I have a cluster marker that defines a bounding rectangle containing a group of markers. The cluster has a center (lat,lon), a marker count and a latitude and longitude span to

Answer 1

Thank you for your answer Solvek. Meanwhile I found a solution that I've adapted slightly and it works. The method computes the bounds of a set of geo points, computes the span of these points and finally uses zoomToSpan and animateTo for zooming into and centering the given area:

 public static void zoomInBounds(final MapView view, final GeoPoint.. bounds) {

    int minLat = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
    int minLong = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
    int maxLat = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
    int maxLong = Integer.MIN_VALUE;

    for (GeoPoint point : bounds) {
        minLat = Math.min(point.getLatitudeE6(), minLat);
        minLong = Math.min(point.getLongitudeE6(), minLong);
        maxLat = Math.max(point.getLatitudeE6(), maxLat);
        maxLong = Math.max(point.getLongitudeE6(), maxLong);
    }

    final MapController controller = view.getController();
    controller.zoomToSpan(
                       Math.abs(minLat - maxLat), Math.abs(minLong - maxLong));
    controller.animateTo(new GeoPoint((maxLat + minLat) / 2,
        (maxLong + minLong) / 2));
}
