Android - Disable MyLocation button on google map

Question

I am using latest Google Maps API. My problem goes like this:

I want to remove the MyLocation button (The blue dot/arrow) WITHOUT disabling MyLocation layer.

if I use this code:

googleMap.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(false);

It doesn't work, unless I add:

googleMap().setMyLocationEnabled(false);

but I want to keep it true. any suggestions?

Google Map Doc says You can disable the button from appearing altogether by calling

UiSettings.setMyLocationButtonEnabled(boolean true/false)

Shows error: "non-static method setMyLocationButtonEnabled(boolean) cannot be referenced from a static context" – Evgenii Dec 21 '15 at 07:06

To avoid the last error of "non-static method" just do: mMap.getUiSettings().setMyLocationButtonEnabled(true/false) – jeprubio Jul 04 '16 at 13:36
Is there any way to attach a custom listener to it? – Daniele Sep 22 '16 at 19:03
