You can use the MapController to do that:

MapView map = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);

GeoPoint center = new GeoPoint(myLatitude, myLongitude);

MapController controller = map.getController();
controller.setCenter(center);
controller.setZoom(ZOOM_LEVEL_DEFAULT);

or if you want to calculate a zoom that fits some longitude/latitude span:

int latitudeSpan = latitude1 - latitude2;
int longitudeSpan = longitude1 - longitude2;
controller.zoomToSpan(latitudeSpan, longitudeSpan);
