Android: map padding prop change not move camera like on IOS

[adammatis]

Before submitting a new issue

• I tested using the latest version of the library (the bug might already be fixed).
• I tested using a supported version of React Native.
• I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.
• I am willing to help with debugging or contribute a fix (otherwise my issue might be closed).

Bug summary

I noticed if I change map padding property it doesn't change the camera position on Androiod.
It works well on IOS.

I tried to set camera to current postion with mapRef.setCamera, but it makes an infinite loop firing onCameraChangeComplete.

Library version

1.10.2

Sorry, I forgot to push. Check it now.
I made a video as well.

In the meantime i think i have found the origin of the problem in the native google maps repo.
Setting contentPadding offset the cameraPosition

[adammatis]

I have created a simple patch. We use this mapPadding prop in a bottom sheet change which runs frequently (with reanimated shared value), so I had to turn off camera move events as well.

It could be an optional setting in this lib, because this is an implementation mismatch of the native google map component on different platforms.

I got the hint from react-native-maps solution.

@pinpong I'd like to tell it is a really awesome package, so thank you!
