Displaying multiple routes using Directions API in Android

Question

I am using this class to display a route on a map. The problem is that it only displays one route. What I want to do is display multiple alternate routes on the map. Even thought the server response has multiple routes, it only parses the first route and displays it. What changes should I make to display all the routes that the google server returns.Here is my class.

public class GMapV2Direction {
    public final static String MODE_DRIVING = "driving";
    public final static String MODE = "walking";
    public final static String MODE_WALKING = "walking";

    public GMapV2Direction() { }

    public Document getDocument(LatLng start, LatLng end, String mode) {
        String url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/xml?" 
                + "origin=" + start.latitude + "," + start.longitude  
                + "&destination=" + end.latitude + "," + end.longitude 
                + "&sensor=false&units=metric&mode="+MODE+"alternatives=true";

Answer 1

i think you don't have to get the response of Google Server and parse it in Document, other wise you can convert from InputStream to String using:

private String convertStreamToString(final InputStream input) throws Exception {
    try {
        final BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input));
        final StringBuffer sBuf = new StringBuffer();
        String line = null;
        while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
            sBuf.append(line);
        }
        return sBuf.toString();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw e;
    } finally {
        try {
            input.close();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw e;
        }
    }

then you will have to parse the response as JSONObject

JSONObject jSONObject = new JSONObject(string);

then you get JSONArray named routes

JSONArray routeJSONArray = jSONObject.getJSONArray("routes");

now you can start fetching data from each route by getting its index from JSONArray.

i have written a snippet of code as a model of route

Route.java

import java.io.Serializable;

Regarding the Step Image there is an HTML instruction and another field called maneuver where according to this field you will choose your image

i hope this helps ;)

You just saved my time :) I was actually going to write all those models and parse JSON step by step, thank you :) – Hypsometer

@Hypsometer It's my pleasure – Solan

@3amoura: I have a confusion... ... Why have you used Serializable in Route.java ?? – Ageold

@R.K, No need to make it serializable, I just forgot to remove this, I wanted to pass Route from one Activity to another through Intent Extras. But Serializable here is not mandatory. Sorry for this confusion. – Solan

Ok... thanks.. for your answer... works well @3amoura – Ageold

that's fine, but now how to show multiple direction/route in google map. – Irretrievable

Here you got all the routes available, You are free to show all of them with different colors. – Solan

Can u send me snippet code for show all different route in google map?? – Irretrievable

Answer 2

I think you can do something like this

LatLng origin = sourcePosition;
     LatLng dest = destPosition;

  DownloadTask1 downloadTask = new DownloadTask1();
  String url = downloadTask.getDirectionsUrl1(origin, dest);                   
  downloadTask.execute(url);

DownloadTask1 class

 private class DownloadTask1 extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {

        // Downloading data in non-ui thread
        @Override
        protected String doInBackground(String... url) {

            // For storing data from web service
            String data = "";

            try {
                // Fetching the data from web service
                data = downloadUrl(url[0]);
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.d("Background Task", e.toString());
            }
            return data;
        }

        // Executes in UI thread, after the execution of
        // doInBackground()
        @Override
        protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
            super.onPostExecute(result);

            ParserTask1 parserTask = new ParserTask1();

            // Invokes the thread for parsing the JSON data
            parserTask.execute(result);
        }


        private String getDirectionsUrl1(LatLng origin, LatLng dest) {

            // Origin of route
            String str_origin = "origin=" + origin.latitude + "," + origin.longitude;

            // Destination of route

At the end you'll have main route in blue colour and alternatives in grey. Hope it helps.

Answer 3

This should work. Tested on my application.

protected void onPostExecute(String s) {
    try {
        JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(s);
        JSONArray jsonArrayRoute = jsonObject.getJSONArray("routes");
        JSONObject jsonObjectRoute;
        int route =  jsonArrayRoute.length();
            for (int m = 0; m < route; m++) {
                jsonObjectRoute = jsonArrayRoute.getJSONObject(m);
                JSONArray jsonArrayLegs;
                jsonArrayLegs = jsonObjectRoute.getJSONArray("legs");
                JSONObject jsonObjectLegs;
                JSONArray jsonArraySteps;
                for (int b = 0; b < jsonArrayLegs.length(); b++) {
                    jsonObjectLegs = jsonArrayLegs.getJSONObject(b);
                    jsonArraySteps = jsonObjectLegs.getJSONArray("steps");
                    JSONObject jsonObjectSteps, jsonObjectLegPolyline;
                    String[] polylineArray = new String[jsonArraySteps.length()];
                    for (int i = 0; i < jsonArraySteps.length(); i++) {
                        jsonObjectSteps = jsonArraySteps.getJSONObject(i);
                        jsonObjectLegPolyline = jsonObjectSteps.getJSONObject("polyline");
                        String polygone = jsonObjectLegPolyline.getString("points");
                        polylineArray[i] = polygone;
                    }
                    int count2 = polylineArray.length;
                    for (int i = 0; i < count2; i++) {
                        mGoogleMap.addPolyline((new PolylineOptions())
                                .color(Color.BLUE)
                                .width(10)
                                .clickable(true)
                                .addAll(PolyUtil.decode(polylineArray[i])));
                    }
                }
        } catch (JSONException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}
