here is now researching how best to draw a path in real time. Get coordinates and draws up earlier and so forth ..
Materials in the network is. But I can not understand the following.
There are many examples of inheritance Overlay then implement the draw () method and draw. But this we will have a one-time, and I need to constantly draw.
Received a starting position, went to finish the position has changed to its original position and so forth.
How?
Examples.
Drawing a line/path on Google Maps
How can I parse out points and draw a route on a Google Map in Android?
Thanks.
First of all from your tags you are pointing to Google Maps API V2 while the links you are
posting are for Google Maps API V1. That's said it's means that you do not have the Overlay object to work with and neither is the GeoPoint is the object you should use to show you direction positions.
In Google maps API V2 what you could do is to add/remove Polylines to show you directions.
Those Polyline will connect LatLng Points.
Now to find you directions you can use the Google Direction API.
Here is a post on how to find directions and show them on Google Map API V2:
Draw driving route between 2 GeoPoints on GoogleMap SupportMapFragment
Now from that how you will implement the your location updates and your desired destination updates it's up to you:
Something important to consider:
It's not officially allowed by Google Maps APIs Terms of Service to use Google Maps API for driving directions:

I'm building a route recommendation app in Android Studio where the user can see the best route between two destinations on the map. I am using Google Maps APIs for that and I know that it's using Dijkstra's algorithm to determine the route. But I wonder if the API can update the route according to real-time traffic, I didn't find any information about that.
Google Maps is updated constantly – literally, every second of every day!

New to Stackoverflow, did some searching and couldn't find anything that really matched what I'm looking for unless I'm using the wrong keywords. I did find guides on how to plot a route when you know the actual route, but I'm looking to do it from actually walking it, see below:
I'm fairly new to web development and am looking to plot maps of a trail on a website using an embedded Google map or some other free map platform if it's suitable (OSM?) I have an Android phone and I'd like to actually be able to:
(1) walk this route,
(2) take the GPS data somehow &
(3) match it up to a Google map to
(4) post it on my webpage.
That will help visitors know the actual route (which is not available on Google Maps in any detail) and have somewhat of a "guide" of the near-exact trail route. I imagine this can be done, as Runkeeper and other applications do this (with additional data on speed, time, etc.) for tracking your runs. I don't really want any of that additional data as much as I would like to just capture the GPS route itself, and have it in some format that I can then use to make a map out of automatically. Not sure where to start with this, or if it can be done easily. Any information or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I have no experience in Java; very limited Javascript and OK in HTML/CSS. I've never used the Google Maps API either.
Thanks!
You may use API Picker lists to help you on the most common things you may want to do on a map or with location-based data, and this also suggests the API that most suits your needs.
Listed below are the useful APIs to plot a route on a map:
Polylines in the Google Maps Android API
Polylines in the Google Maps SDK for iOS
Polylines in the Google Maps JavaScript API
Directions mode in the Google Maps Embed API
Paths in the Google Static Maps API (a web service)
Links of useful APIs for whatever you want to do on a map can be found in the documentation.
I am new to the Google Maps API for android, and recently encountered a problem with a project I'm making. I'm trying to make a network of polylines that represent walking paths on Google maps, but I was wondering, is it possible to get the typical google directions for navigating those polylines? For example, if you are in a park and there are several paths to get to the parking lot, would google maps be able to tell you the fastest path if the paths are represented by polylines?
I want to use google earth on Android App, because the motion is really smooth and the attractiveness of the UI. Is there any framework or controls or APIs available for integrating google earth like UI in android apps.
I want to display a particular location
I want to zoom in/out to locations
I want to add/display markers from a particular zoom level onwards.
Hope I described my problem well. If it is not clear I will explain more.
Please give me answer.
While there isn't anything quite like Google Earth (mostly because Google doesn't offer Earth for Android), the Maps API offers the same functionality you're looking for. From what I remember of the last time I compared Maps to Earth, the only reason you'd pick Earth over Maps is if you wanted a 3-D spherical projection of the Earth at the lowest zoom levels.
Using the Google Maps API is fairly simple. Follow these steps.
Sign up for an API key.
Use your SDK Manager to download the Google APIs.

Profit!
I have developed an android mobile application
I am using Google Maps API for
Displaying Current Location (Drawaing different types of shapes on my current location)
Displaying Nearby Areas. However the positions come from my local database and i am just overlaying it on my map
Displaying routes between two positions. Infact i want to draw many routes from my current positions. I have reffered J2ME/Android/BlackBerry - driving directions, route between two locations for displaying routes between two positions.
Displaying all the Nearby Areas in a ListView
My questions is : what i am doing here is considered as legal or not ?
I want to know what are the rules for using Google Maps ?
Or lets say what are the things that we can do with google maps that would be considered as legal.
Is there any license scheme for using Google Maps ? or its for Free ?
Please guide me..
Your requirements are perfectly legal, You may have a look at the following link http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html
Google maps is free if you are below the the query limit
