Im working on a Android project which should trigger a method when i come near a road from a building or something
is there a way to detect near by road in android ?
Use the Google Maps Roads API, more specifically use the snap to roads feature which snaps the points (lat/lng) to their most likely position on roads using the Roads API.

I'm a beginner in the development for android, and I'm working on a small application integrating the Api google map and direction.
My app is based on an area in which google map did not consider all the routes, so I had to create my own polyline, and I would like them to be taken into account in the itinerary calculation of the direction api. I did some research but without any expected result.
Thank you in advance for your help.
I have researched a lot on google maps android to dynamically plot the route as the person travels. I found that polyline gives a closed polygon with multiple points on it, which does not look good. So what is the best method to plot the exact route as traveled by a person as per the latitude and longitude.
You will have to use the Google Maps Directions API to build your route map.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/intro. Also refer to the detailed SO answer which may help you understand its implementation.
Answer : Draw path between two points using Google Maps Android API v2.
I am planning to create a app which displays bus lines on a google maps map and I want it to display the paths the buses take. I know about polylines and polygons in google maps, but idk how I can make them snap to the road. Is that possible? Can I just use the Directions API for that?
I have a problem: I need to calculate the routing within a mall that has a plan registered in google maps, but with the direction API can not get the indoor routing. To be precise if I am away from the mall and I want to calculate the route to an internal area, I am guided to the outside of the mall, while I would like my app would calculate a route for the section inside the building . To do this I currently use the Google Maps Android API v2 and the Direction api with json output. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? sorry for my bad English
I have exactly the same problem; compting a route (with mode=walking) between two points that are both inside a mall gives a path that starts, goes and ends out of the building.
The closest similar path found on Google Maps (HTML version, from a browser) is the "bike" one...
I am using the Google's Android MAPs API V2 for indoor mapping in our app. It displays the indoor map correctly. Now, I am calling the Directions API to get the co-ordinates between two points to plot them on the indoor map for the way finding. However the Directions API always returns outside walking co-ordinates for two points selected within the indoor map. Is Indoor directions API only available for Google's Maps app ?
