Searching Latlng inside Polygon is not precise

I am trying to check if map centre is inside a polygon or not. My code for creating mulitple polygons on map is this:

    for (int i = 0; i < Constant.arr_zone.size(); i++) {
            LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
            ArrayList<LatLng> list = new ArrayList<>();
            for (int j = 0; j < Constant.arr_zone.get(i).polygon.length; j++) {
                list.add(new LatLng(Constant.arr_zone.get(i).polygon[j].geo_x,
                        Constant.arr_zone.get(i).polygon[j].geo_y));
                builder.include(list.get(j));

            }
            polygonOptions = new PolygonOptions();
            polygonOptions.addAll(list);
            polygonOptions.strokeColor(R.color.theme_color);
            polygonOptions.strokeWidth(2);
            polygonOptions.fillColor(Color.parseColor("#33000040"));
            Polygon polygon = mMap.addPolygon(polygonOptions);
            ltbounds = builder.build();
            arr_ltlngbounds.add(ltbounds);
        }

Next I am checking if map center is inside any polygon or not

map.setOnCameraChangeListener(new OnCameraChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onCameraChange(CameraPosition cameraPosition) {
                    if (arr_ltlngbounds != null && arr_ltlngbounds.size() > 0) {
                        for (LatLngBounds l : arr_ltlngbounds) {
                            if (l.contains(mMap.getCameraPosition().target)) {

                                snackbar = Snackbar
                                        .make(inflatedView, "Service available here", Snackbar.LENGTH_INDEFINITE)
                                        .setAction("GET", new View.OnClickListener() {
                                            @Override
                                            public void onClick(View view) {
                                                String arr[] = {user_location.latitude + "", user_location.longitude + "", "4"};
                                                new Get_service(activity, A.this, get_service).execute(arr);
                                            }
                                        });
                                snackbar.show();
                                break;
                         }
                    }
            }
        }
    });

This is my build.gradle just incase

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {

}
buildscript {

// Goodbye Maven Central

apply plugin: 'newrelic'


dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:22.2.1'
}
android {
useLibrary 'org.apache.http.legacy'
}

The problem about this implementation is, it still shows snackbar (that latlng is inside bounds) even if latlng is outside bounds up to a certain level like there is some buffer area where it will still detect the latlng. I want it to be precise. How can I rectify this?

You can use the PolyUtil.containsLocation method from the Google Maps Android API Utility Library to check if a given location lies inside a polygon represented by a List<LatLng> instead of just checking if the location is in the boundary.

Example:

// Construct a List<LatLng> representing a Polygon
List<LatLng> polygon = new ArrayList<>();
polygon.add(new LatLng(3,0));
polygon.add(new LatLng(3,3));
polygon.add(new LatLng(0,3));
polygon.add(new LatLng(3,0));

// Find the LatLngBounds of the Polygon
LatLngBounds.Builder builder = new LatLngBounds.Builder();
for (LatLng point : polygon) {
    builder.include(point);
}

LatLng test = new LatLng(1,1);

boolean isInsideBoundary = builder.build().contains(test); // true as the test point is inside the boundary
boolean isInside = PolyUtil.containsLocation(test, polygon, true); // false as the test point is outside the polygon
