- You need to get map from this link
- You need to add own marker on map from this link
- To draw route follow this link
To draw a road directions between two geocodes:
Create one Class called "DirectionsJSONParser "
public class DirectionsJSONParser {
public List<List<HashMap<String,String>>> parse(JSONObject jObject){
List<List<HashMap<String, String>>> routes = new ArrayList<List<HashMap<String,String>>>() ;
JSONArray jRoutes = null;
JSONArray jLegs = null;
JSONArray jSteps = null;
try {
jRoutes = jObject.getJSONArray("routes");
for(int i=0;i<jRoutes.length();i++){
jLegs = ( (JSONObject)jRoutes.get(i)).getJSONArray("legs");
List path = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
for(int j=0;j<jLegs.length();j++){
jSteps = ( (JSONObject)jLegs.get(j)).getJSONArray("steps");
for(int k=0;k<jSteps.length();k++){
String polyline = "";
polyline = (String)((JSONObject)((JSONObject)jSteps.get(k)).get("polyline")).get("points");
List<LatLng> list = decodePoly(polyline);
for(int l=0;l<list.size();l++){
HashMap<String, String> hm = new HashMap<String, String>();
hm.put("lat", Double.toString(((LatLng)list.get(l)).latitude) );
hm.put("lng", Double.toString(((LatLng)list.get(l)).longitude) );
path.add(hm);
}
}
routes.add(path);
}
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}catch (Exception e){
}
return routes;
}
private List<LatLng> decodePoly(String encoded) {
List<LatLng> poly = new ArrayList<LatLng>();
int index = 0, len = encoded.length();
int lat = 0, lng = 0;
while (index < len) {
int b, shift = 0, result = 0;
do {
b = encoded.charAt(index++) - 63;
result |= (b & 0x1f) << shift;
shift += 5;
} while (b >= 0x20);
int dlat = ((result & 1) != 0 ? ~(result >> 1) : (result >> 1));
lat += dlat;
shift = 0;
result = 0;
do {
b = encoded.charAt(index++) - 63;
result |= (b & 0x1f) << shift;
shift += 5;
} while (b >= 0x20);
int dlng = ((result & 1) != 0 ? ~(result >> 1) : (result >> 1));
lng += dlng;
LatLng p = new LatLng((((double) lat / 1E5)),
(((double) lng / 1E5)));
poly.add(p);
}
return poly;
}}
