Answer 1

I think you have to use

mapview.getProjection().frompixel(intx, int y)

For the 4 corners of your screen (you can get their coordinates by getwidth and getheight on your mapView, and starting with (0,0), (getwidth(),0), (0,getheight()) and (getwidth(), getheight())

This will give you 4 geopoints from which you can extract latitude and longitude

You're welcome, actually I had no idea of the answer of the answer when I saw your question but it triggered my interest and I looked for it – Alonsoalonzo

Answer 2

If you're using the google-play-services library and the SupportMapFragment in particular.

this.getMap() will give you the instance of GoogleMap (which wraps MapView)

Then just:

map.getProjection().getVisibleRegion();

Are you looking for something like this?

Projection proj = mapView.getProjection();
GeoPoint topLeft = proj.fromPixels(0, 0);

GeoPoint bottomRight = proj.fromPixels(mapView.getWidth()-1, mapView.getHeight()-1);

double topLat = topLeft.getLatitudeE6()/1E6;
double topLon = topLeft.getLongitudeE6()/1E6;
double bottomLat = bottomRight.getLatitudeE6()/1E6;
double bottomLon = bottomRight.getLongitudeE6()/1E6;

Hope it helps!
