Center Android GoogleMap on one point while zooming just enough to include another point

Solution
Your own answer is overcomplicated.
You need to calculate point that is on the other side of your position and include that in `LatLngBounds`.
LatLng otherSidePos = new LatLng(2 * yourPos.latitude - destPos.latitude, 2 * yourPos.longitude - destPos.longitude);
bounds = new LatLngBounds.Builder().include(destPos)
.include(otherSidePos).build();
map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, padding));
Note: you don't want to hardcode 50 pixels as padding. It will look different on different devices. Use density independent pixels instead.
Problem
I would like to have something like a radar screen that centers on where the user is while zooming just enough to include a target point with the v2 api. Right now I'm using ``` bounds = new LatLngBounds.Builder().include(destPos) .include(yourPos).build(); map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, 50)); ``` but this centers at some point between the two points and zooms to include both. Is there a way as easy as this to do what I want? Or do I have to more or less start from scratch and do some math (e.g. calculate the distance between the two points, calculate the lat/lng's for LatLngBounds so that user is at the center of the defined rectangle and the edges of the rectangle include the destination -- taking into consideration the map/screen dimensions)? Here's what I have: Here's what I want:
