Demo

I did not port the Java sample in the Google Repo to C#, would love a pull-request ;-)

I am using a number of the classes/methods in a few of projects so I know the "basics" work... If there are any methods that are returning Java.Lang.Object vs. a more formal concrete class, post an issue or even better, a pull-reuquest ;-)

A Demo Snippet:

var kmlLayer = new KmlLayer(googleMap, Resource.Raw.campus, ApplicationContext);
kmlLayer.AddLayerToMap();
MoveCameraToKml(kmlLayer);

void MoveCameraToKml(KmlLayer kmlLayer)
{
	//Retrieve the first container in the KML layer
	var container = (KmlContainer)kmlLayer.Containers.Iterator().Next();
	//Retrieve a nested container within the first container
	container = (KmlContainer)container.Containers.Iterator().Next();
	//Retrieve the first placemark in the nested container
	var placemark = (KmlPlacemark)container.Placemarks.Iterator().Next();
	//Retrieve a polygon object in a placemark
	var polygon = (KmlPolygon)placemark.Geometry;
	//Create LatLngBounds of the outer coordinates of the polygon
	LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
	foreach (LatLng latLng in polygon.OuterBoundaryCoordinates)
	{
		builder.Include(latLng);
	}
    googleMap.MoveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.NewLatLngBounds(
		builder.Build(), mapFragment.View.Width, mapFragment.View.Height, 1)
	);
}
