You can disable dragging in MapFragment using:

googleMap.getUiSettings().setScrollGesturesEnabled(false);

I think here's what you're looking for:

Inside Google Maps Android v2

Scroll (pan) gestures

A user can scroll (pan) around the map by dragging the map with their finger. You can disable scrolling by calling UiSettings.setScrollGesturesEnabled(boolean).

for disable dragging in MapFragment this code :

googleMap.getUiSettings().setScrollGesturesEnabled(false);

works as @tomrozb said. but it dosn't disable map zoom by touch on map. for that use this code beside above code:

googleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(false);

you can use isScrollGesturesEnabled for map

java:

googleMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(false);

kotlin

googleMap?.uiSettings?.isScrollGesturesEnabled = false

You can disable dragging in MapFragment using:

    mMap.getUiSettings().setScrollGesturesEnabled(false);
    mMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(false);
    mMap.getUiSettings().setScrollGesturesEnabledDuringRotateOrZoom(false);

You don't have to set this in code. You can configure the gestures from XML:

<fragment
    xmlns:map="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:name="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment"
    android:id="@+id/mapFragment"
    map:uiScrollGestures="false" />

As well as uiScrollGestures, you can set uiZoomGestures, uiTiltGestures, and uiRotateGestures.

See XML Attributes documentation.

Can be achieved inside the onMapReady class:

    @Override
    public void onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) {
        mMap = googleMap;
        //Hide zoom controls or buttons
        mMap.getUiSettings().setZoomControlsEnabled(false);
        //Restrict zoom gestures
        mMap.getUiSettings().setZoomGesturesEnabled(false);
    }```
