I'm developing an app where i need to know the path between the current user posistion and a point of interest.
I'm using android 2.3.3, google maps android v2 and direction api. My problem is that all the code i have found is for the old version of the maps, and I also tried to adapt the code but i failed. I try to change GeoPoint (not supported in this new versione) in LatLng. the problem is that i can't display the path, to do it i create a new polyline and i add it to the map.
i post my code:
Parser:
public interface Parser {
public Route parse();
}
XMLParser
public class XMLParser {
// names of the XML tags

this.feedUrl = new URL(feedUrl);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {

every suggestion is well accepted
Activity. The JSON call usingdrawPathshould be done in anAsyncTask. Before working with themap, make sure it's ready to use, see the sample code in the SDK forsetUpMapIfNeededadvised to be run inonResume().map.clear()to clear the map before redrawing. – MiserereAsyncTaskand now it's better. Now I'm trying to usesetUpMapIfNeededandmap.clear()– SeraphdecodePolyLineworks well. – Cenozoic
