My app shows a map and i want that users can't swipe over a certain region. So i'm trying to add bounds but it makes the app to crash. Here is the working code:

public class MapViewer extends Activity implements OnInfoWindowClickListener {
    private LatLng defaultLatLng = new LatLng(42.564241, 12.22759);
    private GoogleMap map;
    private int zoomLevel = 5;
    private Database db = new Database(this);

    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.mapviewer);

        try {
            map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
            if (map != null) {
                map.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
                map.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);
                map.getUiSettings().setRotateGesturesEnabled(false);

                map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(defaultLatLng, zoomLevel));

                this.addMerchantMarkers(new MarkerOptions());

                map.setOnInfoWindowClickListener(this);
            }
        } catch (NullPointerException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onPause() {
        if (map != null) {
            map.setMyLocationEnabled(false);
            map.setTrafficEnabled(false);
        }
        super.onPause();
    }

    public void addMerchantMarkers(MarkerOptions mo) {
        SQLiteDatabase dbRead = db.getReadableDatabase();
        String[] columns = {"title", "addr", "lat", "lon"};
        Cursor result = dbRead.query("merchants", columns, null, null, null, null, null);

        while(result.moveToNext()) {
            String merchant = result.getString(0);
            String address = result.getString(1);
            float lat = result.getFloat(2);
            float lon = result.getFloat(3);

            LatLng pos = new LatLng(lat, lon);

            map.addMarker(mo.position(pos)
                    .title(merchant)
                    .snippet(address)
                    .icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.marker_50)));;
        }
    }
}

And this is the code i add in onCreate method that cause the crash:

    LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
    builder.include(new LatLng(47.09194444, 18.52166666));
    builder.include(new LatLng(36.448311, 6.62555555));
    LatLngBounds bounds = builder.build();

    CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, 30);

    map.animateCamera(cu);

Here is the LogCat:

You can use MapLoadedCallBack;

map.setOnMapLoadedCallback(new GoogleMap.OnMapLoadedCallback() {
  @Override
  public void onMapLoaded() {
      map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, 30));
  }
});

and also you can use this event that occurs prier to above.

  map.setOnCameraChangeListener(new GoogleMap.OnCameraChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onCameraChange(CameraPosition arg0) {
        map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, 30));
  }
});
