Best Route between two location with multiple waypoints in Google Map Android studio

I'm making an android studio application in which a user can see the best sortest paths between two location points. I use Normal android studio map frame and SupportMapFragment to show google map.I want to find the best route in multiple waypoints.These are the file of my android application. only one issue in this project file MapsActivity.java file getmap method is not working. is there any other way develop this one?

To get map, use this:
// Obtain the SupportMapFragment and get notified when the map is ready to be used.
SupportMapFragment mapFragment = (SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
.findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
Your activity must implement OnMapReadyCallback and override onMapReady(GoogleMap googleMap) function.
public class MapsActivity extends FragmentActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback{

Android GoogleDirection API

I am troubling to use GoogleDirection API which find routes inside only Canada. I want to show route of driving on Google Map, so i am use this url.
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
+ "&region=CA"; // Only In Canada
I called this url by using WebService and parse XML data from server and show the route on Map. But unfortunately, it not showed routes in only Canada.
For example, when i searched the route from Vancouver to Toronto, the route is passed in USA region.
How can i solve this issue?
Thanks.

Enjoy full code :-)
You can use below class for showing directions :
public class DirectionsJSONParser {
/** Receives a JSONObject and returns a list of lists containing latitude and longitude */
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");
/** Traversing all routes */
for(int i=0;i<jRoutes.length();i++){
jLegs = ( (JSONObject)jRoutes.get(i)).getJSONArray("legs");
List path = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
/** Traversing all legs */
for(int j=0;j<jLegs.length();j++){
jSteps = ( (JSONObject)jLegs.get(j)).getJSONArray("steps");
/** Traversing all 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);
/** 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;
}
/**
* Method to decode polyline points
* Courtesy : http://jeffreysambells.com/2010/05/27/decoding-polylines-from-google-maps-direction-api-with-java
* */
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;

}

Get Latitude and Longitude from SQLite and place respective marker for every two minutes android

Friends,
Am able to fetch the latitude and longitude from SqliteDb to place a marker in google Map respectively.
But my problem is
1. I want to draw a route from current location to the latitude and longitude fetched from Sqlite Db
2. The db values of Latitude and Longitude will be changed every 2 minutes and i want to change the place in marker accordingly and also route between the updated values and current location.
I have tried running the below code.
It runs perfect in Main class but when I tried using thread it fails and since used timer for the same.
protected void mLocActivity() {
db.open();
class preciLoc extends TimerTask{
#Override
public void run() {
Cursor cr = db.fetchone(sLoc, "pos_mark", tblName, "pho", null, null);
if(cr.getCount()>0){
sLat = cr.getString(cr.getColumnIndex("lat"));
sLon = cr.getString(cr.getColumnIndex("lon"));
}
LatLng orgLoc = new LatLng(mLatitude,mLongitude);
LatLng desCur = new LatLng(Double.parseDouble(sLat), Double.parseDouble(sLon));
String url = getDirectionsUrl(orgLoc, desCur);
DownloadTask downloadTask = new DownloadTask();
downloadTask.execute(url);
rMap.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLng(latLng))
CameraPosition camPos1 = new CameraPosition.Builder()
.target(destCurr).zoom(15).bearing(90).tilt(30).build();
rMap.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory
.newCameraPosition(camPos1));
drawMarker(desCur);
}
}
Timer timer = new Timer();
timer.schedule(new preciLoc(), 50000);
}

The solutions to your question are :-
The following code is used to display route from one point to another-
public class DirectionsJSONParser {
/** Receives a JSONObject and returns a list of lists containing latitude and longitude */
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");
/** Traversing all routes */
for(int i=0;i<jRoutes.length();i++){
jLegs = ( (JSONObject)jRoutes.get(i)).getJSONArray("legs");
List path = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, String>>();
/** Traversing all legs */
for(int j=0;j<jLegs.length();j++){
jSteps = ( (JSONObject)jLegs.get(j)).getJSONArray("steps");
/** Traversing all 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);
/** 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) {
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));

}

String str_dest = "destination=" + dest.latitude + "," + dest.longitude;
// Sensor enabled
String sensor = "sensor=false";
// Building the parameters to the web service
String parameters = str_origin + "&" + str_dest + "&" + sensor;
// Output format
String output = "json";
// Building the url to the web service
String url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/"
+ output + "?" + parameters;
return url;
}
Now the call starts as follows-
// Getting URL to the Google Directions API
String url = getDirectionsUrl(new LatLng(userLocation.getLatitude(),
userLocation.getLongitude()), new LatLng(
dest_lat, dest_long));
DownloadTask downloadTask = new DownloadTask();
// Start downloading json data from Google Directions API
downloadTask.execute(url);
Here user userLocation is my current location and dest_lat, dest_long is the destination lat, long and in onPostExecute of ParserTask the line "map.addPolyline(lineOptions);" adds route to the map, so replace it with your own map.
Now for this problem create a thread and put a sleep of 2 min or more. Inside that thread call the database and retrive the lat,long and call the above methods(solution 1) , thus your route gets refreshed on every 2 min or more and don't forget to call map.clear() to clear the existing route.
Here is my implementation of timerTask and its working fine -
public class Test extends Activity {
Timer timer;
preciLoc loc;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.test);
..........
timer = new Timer();
loc = new preciLoc();
timer.schedule(loc,5000, 10000);
}
class preciLoc extends TimerTask {
#Override
public void run() {
Log.e("preciLoc", timer.toString());
}
}
}
Here I have set a constant delay of 10 sec and a initial delay of 5 sec, its working fine.

I want to create a gps application for my university campus.. i.e buildings of my university and draw rout from my location to that building..
my university roads are not plotted on google maps
how to draw the roads and make my application.
thanks

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:

How to draw road directions between two geocodes in android google map v2?

i want to draw a road direction in android like the below image. i tried using polyline but this plots a straight lines betweens two LatLngs. How can i achieve this as same as the google map. thanks in advance.

You can use this function to show direction in preinstalled Google NavigationApp
public void showDirections(double lat, double lng, double lat1, double lng1) {
final Intent intent = new
Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?" +
"saddr=" + lat + "," + lng + "&daddr=" + lat1 + "," +
lng1));
intent.setClassName("com.google.android.apps.maps", "com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity");
startActivity(intent);
}
