In this article, we will develop an Android application which facilitates users to tap two locations in the Google Map. On taping the second point, a driving route will be drawn in the Google Map Android API V2 using Google Directions API.
This application is developed in Eclipse (4.2.1) with ADT plugin (21.1.0) and Android SDK (21.1.0) and tested in a real device (Android 2.3.6 - GingerBread ).
1. Create a new Android application project namely “LocationRouteDirectionMapV2″
Figure 1 : Create a new Android Application project
2. Configure the project
Figure 2 : Configure the application project
3. Design application launcher icon
Figure 3 : Design application launcher icon
4. Create a blank activity
Figure 4 : Create a blank activity
5. Enter MainActivity details
Figure 5 : Enter MainActivity details
6. Download and configure Google Play Services Library in Eclipse
Google Map for Android is now integrated with Google Play Services. So we need to set up Google Play Service Library for developing Google Map application in Android.
Please follow the given below link to setup Google Play Service library in Eclipse.
http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/setup.html
Note : Please ensure that, the latest version of Google Play Service Library is installed
7. Add Google Play Services Library to this project
Figure 6 : Link Google Play Services Library to this project
8. Get the API key for Google Maps Android API V2
We need to get an API key from Google to use Google Maps in Android application.
Please follow the given below link to get the API key for Google Maps Android API v2.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/start
9. Add Android Support library to this project
By default, Android support library (android-support-v4.jar ) is added to this project by Eclipse IDE to the directory libs. If it is not added, we can do it manually by doing the following steps :
- Open Project Explorer by Clicking “Window -> Show View -> Project Explorer”
- Right click this project
- Then from popup menu, Click “Android Tools -> Add Support Library “
10. Update the layout file res/layout/activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<fragment
android:id="@+id/map"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
class="com.google.android.gms.maps.SupportMapFragment" />
</RelativeLayout>
11. Create a new class namely “DirectionsJSONParser” in the file src/in/wptrafficanalyzer/locationroutedirectionmapv2/DirectionsJSONParser.java
package in.wptrafficanalyzer.locationroutedirectionmapv2;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.HashMap;

String polyline = "";
polyline = (String)((JSONObject)((JSONObject)jSteps.get(k)).get("polyline")).get("points");
List<LatLng> list = decodePoly(polyline);
/** Traversing all points */
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) {

lng += dlng;
LatLng p = new LatLng((((double) lat / 1E5)),
(((double) lng / 1E5)));
poly.add(p);
}
return poly;

i got null pointer exception on this code…give any sollutions
error at line map.setMyLocationEnabled(true); null point ecxeption what is the solution
Please ensure that, the project is linked to Google Play Services library correctly
yes it`s linked with Google Play service but showing warning + error also “Google play store missing” i found solution on other link they are installed gsm.apk ,vending.apk file on emulator it`s correct i tried but didn`t get any correct solution.
Do you know how i can show the local traffic??
i want to draw route using source, way poins and destination
Please see the article titled “Route between two locations with waypoints in Google Map Android API V2“

3. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
Please help in finding the errors and what change to be done in code to make it working,
Hi Vhinesh,
Please try the following :
=> Ensure that, there are no errors in the file activity_main.xml
=> Clean and rebuild the project ( In Eclipse IDE, Project => Clean )
=> Ensure that, Android support library is added to this project ( check for the file “android-support-v4.jar” in the “libs” folder )

I have tried this tutorial to run on EMULATOR,this is working well till displaying two MARKERS on MAP where I have clicked but this is not not showing any route between these two MARKERS and then getting crashed.
Can you please help me out.
Thanks.
I did what you say in this tutorial, but got some problem about “import com.google.android.gms.maps.”
Could you help me, please!
Hello,
Thanks for this great tutorial, however, just as other people said, there is no any route between the two markers (origin and destination).I used Log.i to debug, found result.size()=0 at class ParserTask. Maybe there is something wrong when parsing JSON format.
Looking forward to your reply.
Sorry, this tutorial has no fault because I tested the web version, there is no route either.
Hello,
Please check you are getting a valid json data containing direction details from the function downloadUrl().
please help me in obtaining the route travelled on maps,using gps becoz i am doing an app on tracking gps enabled vehicles from diffrent locations.. pls do help..it is urgent
you are an excellent programmer.. thank you very much..
I use part of you code and work fine! Really thanks!!
Dear george
Thank you for your tutorial is very interesting
when I execute your project I have these two errors:
The Google Play services resources were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the resources are included.
Failed to load map. Error contacting Google servers. This is probably an authentication issue (but could be due to network errors).
Thank you for your help
Best regards
hi you,
Thanks u so much for your code
Take a look at the Google Maps Android API utility library[1]
There is also a (better) Poly decoding and encoding tool

Hello sir! thank you so much for your tutorial it’s very helpful to my thesis about vehicle tracking system. Anyways, i would like to ask if this path being created is the shortest path? or kindly pls explain the algorithm you used. Thank you again sir
this example draws on path between two points. What if we want to draw all possible paths between two points.How can that be done?
Hey,
Thanks.. very nice example.. working great.
Thank you for this.
