Sample viewer app

Use a routing service to navigate between two points.

Image of navigate route

Use case

Navigation is often used by field workers while traveling between two points to get live directions based on their location.

How to use the sample

Tap 'Navigate Route' to simulate traveling and to receive directions from a preset starting point to a preset destination. Tap 'Navigate Route' again to start the simulation from the beginning.

How it works

Create a RouteTask using a URL to an online route service.
Generate default RouteParameters using routeTask.createDefaultParametersAsync().
Set returnStops, returnDirections, and returnRoutes on the parameters to true.
Add Stops to the parameters' stops collection for each destination.
Solve the route using routeTask.solveAsync(routeParameters) to get a RouteResult.
Create a RouteTracker using the route result, and the index of the desired route to take.
Create a RouteTrackerLocationDataSource with the route tracker and simulated location data source to snap the location display to the route.
Create and register a LocationChangedListener with MapView.LocationDisplay.addLocationChangedListener(locationChangedListener). Within the listener call routeTracker.getTrackingStatus() to display updated route information. Tracking status includes a variety of information on the route progress, such as the remaining distance, remaining geometry or traversed geometry (represented by a Polyline), or the remaining time (Double), amongst others.
Use routeTracker.addNewVoiceGuidanceListener() and get guidance using newVoiceGuidanceEvent.getVoiceGuidance().getText(). Use android's text-to-speech engine to provide spoken maneuver directions.
To establish whether the destination has been reached, use trackingStatus.getDestinationStatus(). If the destination status is REACHED, and the remainingDestinationCount is 1, we have arrived at the destination and can stop routing. If there are several destinations in your route, and the remaining destination count is greater than 1, switch the route tracker to the next destination.
