Android Google Places locate searched location on the map

Is it possible to locate the pin on the map when searching for a place in the google places Activity? Now, when I am searching a place in my app, I start the places Activity, there is a map and I am searching for a place. The place is found and a marker is added to the place, but the camera stays at my location...

Here's the code where I am starting the google places activity:

PlacePicker.IntentBuilder builder = new PlacePicker.IntentBuilder();
    try {
        startActivityForResult(builder.build(this), PLACE_PICKER_REQUEST);
    } catch (GooglePlayServicesRepairableException | GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

And here's my OnActivityResult code:

public void action(Context context, Intent data, final TextView addressText, GoogleApiClient googleApiClient){
    Place place = PlacePicker.getPlace(context, data);
    if(addressText!=null) {
        Places.GeoDataApi.getPlaceById(googleApiClient, place.getId()).setResultCallback(new ResultCallback<PlaceBuffer>() {
            @Override
            public void onResult(@NonNull PlaceBuffer places) {
                //Work with the data
                places.release();
            }
        });
            /*Show the address in to the text view with animation*/
        addressText.setAnimation(AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(context, R.anim.address_text_anim));
    }
}

You can try something like this:

LatLng newLatLng = new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location.getLongitude());
CameraUpdate cu = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(newLatLng , yourdesiredvalue);
map.animateCamera(cu);

    Use animate camera method.

 LatLng latLng = new LatLng(22.3075, 72.12345);
 CameraUpdate cameraUpdate = CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(latLng, 10);
 map.animateCamera(cameraUpdate);
