Android google map with moving camera across markers and ActionBarDrawerToggle

Problem statement:
In smart scheduler project, we were asked to show the location of different providers on map along with the list in the actionbar drawer.

Solution:
Here we have the requirement to show different markers on maps as well as to animate the camera on markers based on selection from drawer list.

i am assuming that you guys know how to setup maps on android, let's start from straight code. We will use the drawerlayout and actionbardrawertoggle to show the list and setup the google maps on our screen.

Code description: - demo based on different market location in Lahore Pakistan.
  In main activity, we are initializing the android widgets for fragment, actionbardrawertoggle with respective listener along with the google map setup. For setUpMaps, we are setting marker for "Liberty market" to show it's first selected position on screen.
On fragment list listener, we are implementing "loadMarketsDetails" to animate the camera location to respective location.

Fragment to display the list of drawer
