Adjust layer order

This example demonstrates how to add a GeoJsonSource to a Mapbox Maps SDK for Android application. The GeoJsonLayerInStackActivity class loads a MapView with a MapboxMap instance. It utilizes the Mapbox Maps SDK to load a map style with the MAPBOX_STREETS base style and adds a GeoJsonSource representing urban areas from a remote URL. A fill layer is then added to render the GeoJson polygons with a specific fill color and opacity, positioned below the "water" layer in the style stack. Additionally, the map's camera focuses on a specific geographical point with a predefined zoom level using the CameraOptions class and Point from the Mapbox GeoJson library.
