You can keep the error from occurring by following the advice from the log:

"...use newLatLngBounds(LatLngBounds, int, int, int) which allows you to specify the map's dimensions."

The extra parameters are the width and height of your screen. Here's how your updated code would look:

LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
builder.include(new LatLng(47.09194444, 18.52166666));
builder.include(new LatLng(36.448311, 6.62555555));
LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();

// begin new code:
int width = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
int height = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;
int padding = (int) (width * 0.12); // offset from edges of the map 12% of screen

CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, width, height, padding);
// end of new code

map.animateCamera(cu);
