Programmatically pan the map

[Sprechen]

I'm using maplibre for Android.
In my app, users can control the map through a bluetooth remote controller, that has a small arrow pad.
I need to programmatically pan the map when the user press the corresponding key.
I don't found any directly method to ask the map view to pan to any direction, simulating an user "pan" gesture.
I would like NOT to use a "flyTo" or similar method, since this means that I need to calculate a target location, that could be quite complicated (e.g. if I need to pan left, I also need to know the orientation of the user, in order to correctly calculate the coordinates on his left).

How can I achive this behaviour?

Thanks!

I don't have an answer for you in Android, but in maplibre-gl-js it sounds like you want something like this example right?

Does maplibre have MoveBy? that seems like the equivilent of PanBy in the js example. https://docs.mapbox.com/android/maps/api/10.0.0-beta.12/-mapbox%20-maps%20-android/com.mapbox.maps.plugin.animation/move-by.html .

I tried to find it in maplibre docs, but I honestly couldn't even find flyto

@acalcutt is correct.
@Sprechen I think what you're looking for is void Map::moveBy(const ScreenCoordinate& point, const AnimationOptions& animation)

maplibre-native/include/mbgl/map/map.hpp

Line 70 in 14bfb5d

void moveBy(const ScreenCoordinate&, const AnimationOptions& = {});

Example usage: https://github.com/maplibre/maplibre-native/blob/14bfb5df7257848ee0d14570e349a07996c9469f/platform/ios/src/MLNMapView.mm#L2089C1-L2128C1

well, I also found the method public void scrollBy(float x, float y, long duration) that should let me achive the same behaviour, without installing any additional plugin.
I haven't tested it yet, but it seems interesting!
