Updated with latest code also included change location with autocomplete

Complete project can be found here

Logic is Simple we need a framelayout and add a map and marker layout inside that framelayout then make maker layout gravity to center and get latitude and longitude of the centre point of the map on camera change
refer this answer
here is my code
create activity_maps.xml
