Is there a way to change camera move gestures in Android GoogleMaps?

Question

I new in Android. I try to find info about how to disable to move camera on Google Maps and change it destiny. For example when the marker will be displayed I couldn't move camera, and my move gestures will for example change to other options. Is there any solution?

You can:

1) disable all gestures like in answers for this question of Vincent:

mMap.getUiSettings().setAllGesturesEnabled(false);

2) create touchable wrapper for MapFragment like in this community wiki answer:

public class TouchableWrapper extends FrameLayout {

    public TouchableWrapper(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    @Override
    public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {

        switch (event.getAction()) {

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                  MainActivity.mMapIsTouched = true;
                  break;

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                  MainActivity.mMapIsTouched = false;
                  break;

            // ... and so on for all of the gestures your need 
        }
        return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
    }
}

For example, here you can find example for "two finger scrolling gesture" touchable wrapper:

public class TouchableWrapper extends FrameLayout {

    private LockableScrollView mLockableScroll;
    private GoogleMap mGoogleMap;

    public TouchableWrapper(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public void setGoogleMapAndScroll(GoogleMap googleMap, LockableScrollView lockableScroll) {
        mGoogleMap = googleMap;
        mLockableScroll = lockableScroll;
    }


    @Override
    public boolean dispatchTouchEvent(MotionEvent event) {

        switch (event.getAction() & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK) {

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                mGoogleMap.getUiSettings().setScrollGesturesEnabled(false);
                // UPDATE: add below line to disable zoom gesture
                mGoogleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(false);
                mLockableScroll.setScrollingEnabled(true);
            break;

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_DOWN:
                mLockableScroll.setScrollingEnabled(false);
                mGoogleMap.getUiSettings().setScrollGesturesEnabled(true);
                // UPDATE: add below line to enable zoom gesture
                mGoogleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(true);

            break;

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_UP:
                // UPDATE: add below line to disable zoom gesture
                mGoogleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(false);
                mGoogleMap.getUiSettings().setScrollGesturesEnabled(false);
                mLockableScroll.setScrollingEnabled(true);
            break;

            case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                // UPDATE: add below line to disable zoom gesture
                mGoogleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(false);
                mGoogleMap.getUiSettings().setScrollGesturesEnabled(false);
                mLockableScroll.setScrollingEnabled(true);
            break;
        }
        return super.dispatchTouchEvent(event);
    }
}
