Retrieve distance from visible part of Google map

android, distance, google-maps, google-maps-android-api-2

Solution

using VisibleRegion you can get the all corner cordinates and also the center.

VisibleRegion vr = mMap.getProjection().getVisibleRegion();
double left = vr.latLngBounds.southwest.longitude;
double top = vr.latLngBounds.northeast.latitude;
double right = vr.latLngBounds.northeast.longitude;
double bottom = vr.latLngBounds.southwest.latitude;

and you can calcuate distance from two region by this

Location MiddleLeftCornerLocation;//(center's latitude,vr.latLngBounds.southwest.longitude)
Location center=new Location("center");
center.setLatitude( vr.latLngBounds.getCenter().latitude);
center.setLongitude( vr.latLngBounds.getCenter().longitude);
float dis = center.distanceTo(MiddleLeftCornerLocation);//calculate distane between middleLeftcorner and center

Problem

I want to draw a static circle over a map with `Google Maps`. When the user pinches, the map will zoom in/out. I need to know the map radius (related to the area contained in the circle) and change the seekbar at the bottom accordingly. Does anybody know a solution how to retrieve the distance from the left to the right screen edge? I didn't find anything at the Google Maps API doc. Something like this:
