Android Google Maps v2 Routes display routes not working

I'm trying to set routes directions in my app using google API v2 but I'm getting this error that I can't find what is causing the problem
D/Exception while reading url﹕ java.io.FileNotFoundException: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?waypoints=optimize:true|-23.3246,-51.1489|-23.3206,-51.1459|-23.2975,-51.2007&sensor=false
And when I copy and paste that link on Chrome I get the following:

The url which is being generated in the code : "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?waypoints=optimize:true|-23.3246,-51.1489|-23.3206,-51.1459|-23.2975,-51.2007&sensor=false"
is WRONG.
Your URL should be like this : "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=-23.3246,-51.1489&destination=-23.2975,-51.2007&%20waypoints=optimize:true|-23.3246,-51.1489|-23.3206,-51.1459|-23.2975,-51.2007&sensor=false"
Here's the code to generate the url :
private String getMapsApiDirectionsUrl(LatLng Office, LatLng home) {
String waypoints = "waypoints=optimize:true|"
+ Office.latitude + "," + Office.longitude
+ "|" + "|" + home.latitude + ","
+ home.longitude;
String OriDest = "origin="+Office.latitude+","+Office.longitude+"&destination="+home.latitude+","+home.longitude;
String sensor = "sensor=false";
String params = OriDest+"&%20"+waypoints + "&" + sensor;
String output = "json";
String url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/"
+ output + "?" + params;
return url;
}

Google Maps Directions - Which API?

I'm trying to get the directions from the user's current location to a user defined location in the app that I'm building. This seems like it should be a relatively easy thing to do but I'm getting stuck on which API to use.
Right now I've managed to hook up to the google directions API but the JSON it's returning is very strange (they've added a \n everywhere to make it human readable) which suggests to me that this API isn't the correct one for mobile.
I've also seen the google places API being recommended for this purpose but I can't seem to find out how to use it from the documentation.
Any help is greatly appreciated since I'm just a titch confused
EDIT: Just to clarify the questions is which API I should be using to get directions for maps?

I do not remember where I get it but this classes help me a lot, it includes if you want to draw the route.

Hope it will helps you.
Calling api example:
Parser parser;
String jsonURL = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?";
final StringBuffer sBuf = new StringBuffer(jsonURL);
sBuf.append("origin=");
sBuf.append( points.get(0).getLatitudeE6()/1E6);
sBuf.append(',');
sBuf.append(points.get(0).getLongitudeE6()/1E6);
sBuf.append("&destination=");
sBuf.append(points.get(points.size()-1).getLatitudeE6()/1E6);
sBuf.append(',');
sBuf.append(points.get(points.size()-1).getLongitudeE6()/1E6);
sBuf.append("&sensor=true&mode="+routeMode);
Logger.appendLog(sBuf.toString());
parser = new GoogleParser(sBuf.toString());
Route r = parser.parse();

You can parsing them using google http java client. Try this example

Google Maps Android V2 and Direction API

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();

every suggestion is well accepted

If you don't need custom code try this lib https://github.com/jd-alexander/Google-Directions-Android only a few lines of code to do what you need.

I am doing like the following. I think this will help you.
Marker interestedMarker;
private void plot_direction(){
if (currentSelectedPin !=null) {
LatLng origin = new LatLng(currentLocation.getLatitude(),currentLocation.getLongitude());
new GoogleMapDirection(getActivity(), origin, interestedMarker.getPosition(), new DirectionListener() {
#Override
public void onDirectionPointsReceived(ArrayList<RouteModel> routeList, String distance, String duration) {
PolylineOptions lineOptions = null;
for (RouteModel route : routeList) {
lineOptions = new PolylineOptions();
lineOptions.addAll(route.getSteps());
lineOptions.width(20);
lineOptions.color(ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(), R.color.map_route));
}
//For removing existing line
if (routeMap!=null){
routeMap.remove();
}
if(lineOptions != null) {
routeMap = mMap.addPolyline(lineOptions);
}
}
});
}
}
GoogleMapDirection class is as follows

The problem resolved. Here is the fix:

mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.mapview);

Your issue is that mapView is null, you haven't called initMap() yet. This causes mapView.getOverlays().add(itemizedOverlay ); to fail.

How to put JSON lOutput (latitude and longitude) on the map

as you have only to variable to pass so use intent and pass the data ......and i think you have rest of code writen
put in the JSONActivity from where you want to open mapActivity and you alos have the variable latitude and longitude with their values
Intent i= new Intent(getApplicationContext(), mapActivity.class);
i.putExtra("lattitude",lattitude);
i.putExtra("longitude",longitude);
startActivity(i);
Then in the new activity mapActivity, retrieve those values:
inplace of this put String coordinates[] = {"5.550381", "95.318699"};
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
if(extras !=null) {
String lattitude= extras.getString("lattitude");
String longitude= extras.getString("longitude");
double lat = Double.parseDouble(lattitude);
double lng = Double.parseDouble(longitude);
}
