Draw routes between current location to another locations in android?

I am drawing route between one location to another location successfully using http://iamvijayakumar.blogspot.in/2013/04/android-draw-route-between-two-geo.html this link, now I am trying to draw routes between current location to all locations what I have my arrylist.But here add one route only from current location to last element of arrylist. But I want to draw routes from my current location to all locations.
Below is the code :
public class ShowAllRoutesFromCurrentLoc extends FragmentActivity implements LocationListener {

R.id.mapRotes)).getMap();
v2GetRouteDirection = new GMapV2Direction();
locationManager = (LocationManager)getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
Criteria criteria = new Criteria();
String provider = locationManager.getBestProvider(criteria, true);
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 0, 0, this);

Log.e("SHOW LOGIN", arl.toString());
if(arl.size()!=0){
for(int j = 0;j<arl.size();j++){
String lat =arl.get(j).get("lat").toString();
String lng =arl.get(j).get("lng").toString();
if ( !lat.trim().equals("") && !lng.trim().equals("") ) {
double Hlat = Double.parseDouble(lat.trim());
double Hlong= Double.parseDouble(lng.trim());
dabaseLocations =new LatLng(Hlat, Hlong);
dbList.add(dabaseLocations);
Log.e("ARRAY1",""+dbList.size());
}
}
}

To begin you will have to understand that with each new location you must call a XML request. Each request will be its own set of points in which Android uses to draw poly lines between Point A and Point B.
I would start by using a 2-D ArrayList to that stores each of the XML returns and then iterating though the lists to draw the lines. You will have to look at each set of point connections and then call the function to draw the lines between those points and then move to the next set of points.

Android - Remove the straight line while displaying multiple routes on a map

In my application, display of Map and multiple routes between source and destination is done using Google mapv2 API. The only problem is, while displaying multiple routes on the map, one straight comes along with the correct routes. I want to get rid of that straight line between source and destination. I am trying to find a way from past two days. Please guide me.

Fallow this How to draw free hand polygon in Google map V2 in Android?
There's deep discussion about same over there ...
Kindly check out the list part that how things happened over there.
Your logic can be to check for source and destination point regularly. After that you just need to create a common method that will draw path on map.

The issue is you are getting all the steps from all the routes into a single ArrayList, so last point of first route is followed by first point of second route.

You should use a class for it, then create an instance of the class and call it's execute method:
for example :
new PostTask().execute("http://feeds.pcworld.com/pcworld/latestnews");
check link below for definition of PostTask:
http://androidresearch.wordpress.com/2012/03/17/understanding-asynctask-once-and-forever/

http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/AsyncTask.html
To load AsyncTask
new TheTask().execute(); // load it on ui thread
AsyncTask
class TheTask extends AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>
{
#Override
public void doInBackground(void... params)
{

Google maps api v2 get directions

I am using google maps api v2 in android . I have placed a marker. How can i get directions between current location and the marker.Any help would be great.

Take a look at this code I was provided here in one of the posts for creating Polyline from Google Direction API, you can change the class that gets the data if you want to get it from other source but this is how you do it. Create a class that will be responsible for getting the direction and parsing:
public class GMapV2Direction {
public final static String MODE_DRIVING = "driving";
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;
try {
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);
InputStream in = response.getEntity().getContent();
DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(in);
return doc;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
public String getDurationText (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("duration");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
NodeList nl2 = node1.getChildNodes();
Node node2 = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "text"));
Log.i("DurationText", node2.getTextContent());
return node2.getTextContent();
}
public int getDurationValue (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("duration");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
NodeList nl2 = node1.getChildNodes();
Node node2 = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "value"));
Log.i("DurationValue", node2.getTextContent());
return Integer.parseInt(node2.getTextContent());
}
public String getDistanceText (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("distance");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
NodeList nl2 = node1.getChildNodes();
Node node2 = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "text"));
Log.i("DistanceText", node2.getTextContent());
return node2.getTextContent();
}
public int getDistanceValue (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("distance");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
NodeList nl2 = node1.getChildNodes();
Node node2 = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "value"));
Log.i("DistanceValue", node2.getTextContent());
return Integer.parseInt(node2.getTextContent());
}
public String getStartAddress (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("start_address");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
Log.i("StartAddress", node1.getTextContent());
return node1.getTextContent();
}
public String getEndAddress (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("end_address");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
Log.i("StartAddress", node1.getTextContent());
return node1.getTextContent();
}
public String getCopyRights (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("copyrights");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
Log.i("CopyRights", node1.getTextContent());
return node1.getTextContent();
}
public ArrayList<LatLng> getDirection (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1, nl2, nl3;
ArrayList<LatLng> listGeopoints = new ArrayList<LatLng>();
nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("step");
if (nl1.getLength() > 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < nl1.getLength(); i++) {
Node node1 = nl1.item(i);
nl2 = node1.getChildNodes();
Node locationNode = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "start_location"));
nl3 = locationNode.getChildNodes();
Node latNode = nl3.item(getNodeIndex(nl3, "lat"));
double lat = Double.parseDouble(latNode.getTextContent());
Node lngNode = nl3.item(getNodeIndex(nl3, "lng"));
double lng = Double.parseDouble(lngNode.getTextContent());
listGeopoints.add(new LatLng(lat, lng));
locationNode = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "polyline"));
nl3 = locationNode.getChildNodes();
latNode = nl3.item(getNodeIndex(nl3, "points"));
ArrayList<LatLng> arr = decodePoly(latNode.getTextContent());
for(int j = 0 ; j < arr.size() ; j++) {
listGeopoints.add(new LatLng(arr.get(j).latitude, arr.get(j).longitude));
}
locationNode = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "end_location"));
nl3 = locationNode.getChildNodes();
latNode = nl3.item(getNodeIndex(nl3, "lat"));
lat = Double.parseDouble(latNode.getTextContent());
lngNode = nl3.item(getNodeIndex(nl3, "lng"));
lng = Double.parseDouble(lngNode.getTextContent());
listGeopoints.add(new LatLng(lat, lng));
}
}
return listGeopoints;
}
private int getNodeIndex(NodeList nl, String nodename) {
for(int i = 0 ; i < nl.getLength() ; i++) {
if(nl.item(i).getNodeName().equals(nodename))
return i;
}
return -1;
}
private ArrayList<LatLng> decodePoly(String encoded) {
ArrayList<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 position = new LatLng((double) lat / 1E5, (double) lng / 1E5);
poly.add(position);
}
return poly;
}
}
Create a getDirections AsyncTask:
public class GetDirectionsAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Map<String, String>, Object, ArrayList<LatLng>> {
public static final String USER_CURRENT_LAT = "user_current_lat";
public static final String USER_CURRENT_LONG = "user_current_long";
public static final String DESTINATION_LAT = "destination_lat";
public static final String DESTINATION_LONG = "destination_long";
public static final String DIRECTIONS_MODE = "directions_mode";
private MapFragmentActivity activity;
private String url;
private Exception exception;
private Dialog progressDialog;
public GetDirectionsAsyncTask(MapFragmentActivity activity /*String url*/)
{
super();
this.activity = activity;
// this.url = url;
}
public void onPreExecute() {
progressDialog = DialogUtils.createProgressDialog(activity, activity.getString(R.string.get_data_dialog_message));
progressDialog.show();
}
#Override
public void onPostExecute(ArrayList<LatLng> result) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
if (exception == null) {
activity.handleGetDirectionsResult(result);
} else {
processException();
}
}
#Override
protected ArrayList<LatLng> doInBackground(Map<String, String>... params) {
Map<String, String> paramMap = params[0];
try{
LatLng fromPosition = new LatLng(Double.valueOf(paramMap.get(USER_CURRENT_LAT)) , Double.valueOf(paramMap.get(USER_CURRENT_LONG)));
LatLng toPosition = new LatLng(Double.valueOf(paramMap.get(DESTINATION_LAT)) , Double.valueOf(paramMap.get(DESTINATION_LONG)));
GMapV2Direction md = new GMapV2Direction();
Document doc = md.getDocument(fromPosition, toPosition, paramMap.get(DIRECTIONS_MODE));
ArrayList<LatLng> directionPoints = md.getDirection(doc);
return directionPoints;
}
catch (Exception e) {
exception = e;
return null;
}
}
private void processException() {
Toast.makeText(activity, activity.getString(R.string.error_when_retrieving_data), 3000).show();
}
}
In your Activity create those 2 methods:
public void handleGetDirectionsResult(ArrayList<LatLng> directionPoints)
{
Polyline newPolyline;
GoogleMap mMap = ((SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
PolylineOptions rectLine = new PolylineOptions().width(3).color(Color.RED);
for(int i = 0 ; i < directionPoints.size() ; i++)
{
rectLine.add(directionPoints.get(i));
}
newPolyline = mMap.addPolyline(rectLine);
}
public void findDirections(double fromPositionDoubleLat, double fromPositionDoubleLong, double toPositionDoubleLat, double toPositionDoubleLong, String mode)
{
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put(GetDirectionsAsyncTask.USER_CURRENT_LAT, String.valueOf(fromPositionDoubleLat));
map.put(GetDirectionsAsyncTask.USER_CURRENT_LONG, String.valueOf(fromPositionDoubleLong));
map.put(GetDirectionsAsyncTask.DESTINATION_LAT, String.valueOf(toPositionDoubleLat));
map.put(GetDirectionsAsyncTask.DESTINATION_LONG, String.valueOf(toPositionDoubleLong));
map.put(GetDirectionsAsyncTask.DIRECTIONS_MODE, mode);
GetDirectionsAsyncTask asyncTask = new GetDirectionsAsyncTask(this);
asyncTask.execute(map);
}
Finally run this method to create the Polyline:
findDirections(AppObj.getInstance().currentUserLocation.getLatitude(),
AppObj.getInstance().currentUserLocation.getLongitude(),
clickMarkerLatLng.latitude, clickMarkerLatLng.longitude, GMapV2Direction.MODE_DRIVING );

google maps routing api V2 android

I have includet google map in my android program. But in the tutorial about the GM android api V2 isn`t a decription about the routing and how i can add my own created google map.
Does anybody know a tutorial for this?
Thanks a lot

You can take a look at a resembling question I asked not long ago:
Is there a way to show road directions in Google Map API v2?
What you should do is:
1.Take this code I was given by #Akexorcist:
package app.akexorcist.googlemapsv2direction;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import org.apache.http.HttpResponse;

import org.apache.http.client.methods.HttpPost;
import org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient;
import org.apache.http.protocol.BasicHttpContext;
import org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.Log;
public class GMapV2Direction {
public final static String MODE_DRIVING = "driving";
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=driving";
try {
HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);
InputStream in = response.getEntity().getContent();
DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(in);
return doc;
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
public String getDurationText (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("duration");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
NodeList nl2 = node1.getChildNodes();
Node node2 = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "text"));
Log.i("DurationText", node2.getTextContent());
return node2.getTextContent();
}
public int getDurationValue (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("duration");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
NodeList nl2 = node1.getChildNodes();
Node node2 = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "value"));
Log.i("DurationValue", node2.getTextContent());
return Integer.parseInt(node2.getTextContent());
}
public String getDistanceText (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("distance");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
NodeList nl2 = node1.getChildNodes();
Node node2 = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "text"));
Log.i("DistanceText", node2.getTextContent());
return node2.getTextContent();
}
public int getDistanceValue (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("distance");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
NodeList nl2 = node1.getChildNodes();
Node node2 = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "value"));
Log.i("DistanceValue", node2.getTextContent());
return Integer.parseInt(node2.getTextContent());
}
public String getStartAddress (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("start_address");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
Log.i("StartAddress", node1.getTextContent());
return node1.getTextContent();
}
public String getEndAddress (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("end_address");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
Log.i("StartAddress", node1.getTextContent());
return node1.getTextContent();
}
public String getCopyRights (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("copyrights");
Node node1 = nl1.item(0);
Log.i("CopyRights", node1.getTextContent());
return node1.getTextContent();
}
public ArrayList<LatLng> getDirection (Document doc) {
NodeList nl1, nl2, nl3;
ArrayList<LatLng> listGeopoints = new ArrayList<LatLng>();
nl1 = doc.getElementsByTagName("step");
if (nl1.getLength() > 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < nl1.getLength(); i++) {
Node node1 = nl1.item(i);
nl2 = node1.getChildNodes();
Node locationNode = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "start_location"));
nl3 = locationNode.getChildNodes();
Node latNode = nl3.item(getNodeIndex(nl3, "lat"));
double lat = Double.parseDouble(latNode.getTextContent());
Node lngNode = nl3.item(getNodeIndex(nl3, "lng"));
double lng = Double.parseDouble(lngNode.getTextContent());
listGeopoints.add(new LatLng(lat, lng));
locationNode = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "polyline"));
nl3 = locationNode.getChildNodes();
latNode = nl3.item(getNodeIndex(nl3, "points"));
ArrayList<LatLng> arr = decodePoly(latNode.getTextContent());
for(int j = 0 ; j < arr.size() ; j++) {
listGeopoints.add(new LatLng(arr.get(j).latitude, arr.get(j).longitude));
}
locationNode = nl2.item(getNodeIndex(nl2, "end_location"));
nl3 = locationNode.getChildNodes();
latNode = nl3.item(getNodeIndex(nl3, "lat"));
lat = Double.parseDouble(latNode.getTextContent());
lngNode = nl3.item(getNodeIndex(nl3, "lng"));
lng = Double.parseDouble(lngNode.getTextContent());
listGeopoints.add(new LatLng(lat, lng));
}
}
return listGeopoints;
}
private int getNodeIndex(NodeList nl, String nodename) {
for(int i = 0 ; i < nl.getLength() ; i++) {
if(nl.item(i).getNodeName().equals(nodename))
return i;
}
return -1;
}
private ArrayList<LatLng> decodePoly(String encoded) {
ArrayList<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 position = new LatLng((double) lat / 1E5, (double) lng / 1E5);
poly.add(position);
}
return poly;
}
}
2.Next, Create an asyncTask for getting the direction:
package com.emildesign.sgtaskmanager.asynctasks;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Map;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import com.emildesign.sgtaskmanager.R;
import com.emildesign.sgtaskmanager.activities.LoginScrActivity;
import com.emildesign.sgtaskmanager.activities.MapFragmentActivity;
import com.emildesign.sgtaskmanager.objects.DataAccessManager;
import com.emildesign.sgtaskmanager.objects.DialogUtils;
import com.emildesign.sgtaskmanager.objects.GMapV2Direction;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import android.app.Dialog;
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class GetDirectionsAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Map<String, String>, Object, ArrayList<LatLng>> {
public static final String USER_CURRENT_LAT = "user_current_lat";
public static final String USER_CURRENT_LONG = "user_current_long";
public static final String DESTINATION_LAT = "destination_lat";
public static final String DESTINATION_LONG = "destination_long";
public static final String DIRECTIONS_MODE = "directions_mode";
private MapFragmentActivity activity;
private String url;
private Exception exception;
private Dialog progressDialog;
public GetDirectionsAsyncTask(MapFragmentActivity activity /*String url*/)
{
super();
this.activity = activity;
// this.url = url;
}
public void onPreExecute() {
progressDialog = DialogUtils.createProgressDialog(activity, activity.getString(R.string.get_data_dialog_message));
progressDialog.show();
}
#Override
public void onPostExecute(ArrayList<LatLng> result) {
progressDialog.dismiss();
if (exception == null) {
activity.handleGetDirectionsResult(result);
} else {
processException();
}
}
#Override
protected ArrayList<LatLng> doInBackground(Map<String, String>... params) {
Map<String, String> paramMap = params[0];
try{
LatLng fromPosition = new LatLng(Double.valueOf(paramMap.get(USER_CURRENT_LAT)) , Double.valueOf(paramMap.get(USER_CURRENT_LONG)));
LatLng toPosition = new LatLng(Double.valueOf(paramMap.get(DESTINATION_LAT)) , Double.valueOf(paramMap.get(DESTINATION_LONG)));
GMapV2Direction md = new GMapV2Direction();
Document doc = md.getDocument(fromPosition, toPosition, paramMap.get(DIRECTIONS_MODE));
ArrayList<LatLng> directionPoints = md.getDirection(doc);
return directionPoints;
}
catch (Exception e) {
exception = e;
return null;
}
}
private void processException() {
Toast.makeText(activity, activity.getString(R.string.error_when_retrieving_data), 3000).show();
}
}
3.Create this two methods in your map activity for getting the direction and handling result:
public void handleGetDirectionsResult(ArrayList<LatLng> directionPoints)
{
Polyline newPolyline;
GoogleMap mMap = ((SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
PolylineOptions rectLine = new PolylineOptions().width(3).color(Color.RED);
for(int i = 0 ; i < directionPoints.size() ; i++)
{
rectLine.add(directionPoints.get(i));
}
newPolyline = mMap.addPolyline(rectLine);
}
public void findDirections(double fromPositionDoubleLat, double fromPositionDoubleLong, double toPositionDoubleLat, double toPositionDoubleLong, String mode)
{
Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
map.put(GetDirectionsAsyncTask.USER_CURRENT_LAT, String.valueOf(fromPositionDoubleLat));
map.put(GetDirectionsAsyncTask.USER_CURRENT_LONG, String.valueOf(fromPositionDoubleLong));
map.put(GetDirectionsAsyncTask.DESTINATION_LAT, String.valueOf(toPositionDoubleLat));
map.put(GetDirectionsAsyncTask.DESTINATION_LONG, String.valueOf(toPositionDoubleLong));
map.put(GetDirectionsAsyncTask.DIRECTIONS_MODE, mode);
GetDirectionsAsyncTask asyncTask = new GetDirectionsAsyncTask(this);
asyncTask.execute(map);
}
and finally, run the find direction method:
findDirections(SGTasksListAppObj.getInstance().currentUserLocation.getLatitude(),
SGTasksListAppObj.getInstance().currentUserLocation.getLongitude(),
clickMarkerLatLng.latitude, clickMarkerLatLng.longitude, GMapV2Direction.MODE_DRIVING );
