How can I fix this error when using CameraUpdate

Question

I'm getting this error when using:

CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, 16);

I have seen from other posts that I need to use addOnGlobalLayoutListener but I tried this and cant seem to get it to work

The section of code I'm getting the error is:

 private void setUpMap() {
        final List <Marker> markers= new ArrayList<>();
        if(alreadyInit==false){
            marker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(home.curLat,home.curLong)).title("Marker"));
            markers.add(marker);
            alreadyInit=true;
        }

            matchLocLat = client.getlat();
            matchLocLong = client.getlong();
        if(alreadyInit==true){
            marker = mMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(new LatLng(matchLocLat, matchLocLong)).title("Marker"));
            markers.add(marker);

            LinearLayout mapLayout = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.shared_map);
            mapLayout.getViewTreeObserver().addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new ViewTreeObserver.OnGlobalLayoutListener() {
                @Override
                public void onGlobalLayout() {
                    LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
                    for (Marker marker : markers) {
                        builder.include(marker.getPosition());
                    }
                    LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();

                    int padding = 0 ; // offset from edges of the map in pixels
                    CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, 16);
                    mMap.animateCamera(cu);
                }
            });


        } 

I'd appreciate any help and any questions I'l answer

Answer 1

R.id.shared_map is not a LinearLayout, and so you cannot cast it to be a LinearLayout. It has nothing to do with CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, 16).

Since getViewTreeObserver() is implemented on View, one solution would be to just get rid of the cast, assuming that R.id.shared_map really represents whatever you want to get the ViewTreeObserver for.
