EasyRoutes
EasyRoutes allows you to easily draw routes through the google maps address api.
Note: You need to generate an API key from the google console with the directions API and add INTERNET permission in manifest.
Setup
Gradle: Add in your root build.gradle.
allprojects {
repositories {
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
Add the dependency in your app build.gradle.
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.AntonioHReyes:EasyRoutes:1.0.9'
}
if you have the next error:
Caused by: org.gradle.api.InvalidUserCodeException: Build was configured to prefer settings repositories over project repositories but repository 'maven' was added by build file 'build.gradle'
modify your settings.gradle to:
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositoriesMode.set(RepositoriesMode.PREFER_SETTINGS)
repositories {
google()
mavenCentral()
jcenter() // Warning: this repository is going to shut down soon
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
Otherwise you have to use library directly in your project.
USAGE
first you need to define an instance of EasyRoutesDirections with which you can pass properties to query the google directions API.
a full properties example:
val placeDirections = EasyRoutesDirections(
originPlace = "Ixhuatlán del café, Veracruz, México",
destinationPlace = "Hermosillo, Sonora, México",
apiKey = getString(R.string.google_maps_key),
waypointsLatLng = arrayListOf(
LatLng(20.077550759401632, -98.36895687240255),
LatLng(19.43488491844211, -99.13136781301444)
),
waypointsPlaces = arrayListOf(
"Santiago de Queretaro",
"Aguascalientes"
),
showDefaultMarkers= false,
transportationMode = TransportationMode.WALKING
)
you can mix LatLng and String places of origin and destination.
val placeAndLatLng = EasyRoutesDirections(
originPlace = "Oaxaca",
destinationLatLng = LatLng(19.417708496429597, -102.05174097597963),
apiKey = getString(R.string.google_maps_key)
)
val latLngAndPlace = EasyRoutesDirections(
originLatLng = LatLng(19.417708496429597, -102.05174097597963),
destinationPlace = "Merida, Yucatan, México",
apiKey = getString(R.string.google_maps_key)
)
Note: you can't define a two origins or two destinations.
a description of properties:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
api_key |
String |
Required. Your API key from google cloud |
originLatLng |
LatLng |
Your origin in latitude and longitude values |
originPlace |
String |
Your origin in String format for example Oaxaca |
destinationLatLng |
LatLng |
Your destination in latitude and longitude values |
destinationPlace |
String |
Your destination in String format for example Aguascalientes |
waypointsLatLng |
Array<LatLng> |
Specifies an array of intermediate locations in latitude and longitude values |
waypointsPlaces |
Array<String> |
Specifies an array of intermediate locations in String format |
transportationMode |
TransportationMode |
Specify the transportation mode to use by default is DRIVING |
showDefaultMarkers |
Boolean |
Flag to show default markers in origin and destination |
next you need to define a EasyDrawer Builder to customize the route.
val routeDrawer = EasyRoutesDrawer.Builder(mMap)
.pathWidth(10f)
.pathColor(Color.GREEN)
.geodesic(true)
.previewMode(false)
.build()
a description of properties:
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
pathWidth |
Float |
Width of you path drawn by default is 12f |
pathColor |
Int |
Color of you path by default is Color.MAGENTA |
geodesic |
Boolean |
Specifies whether to draw each segment of this polyline as a geodesic by default is true |
previewMode |
Boolean |
Specify the property to paint the path if true selects overview Polyline defaults to true |
Note: if you like view the route with precision use previewMode in false.
you can pass a custom polyline for better handling.
val customPolylineOptions = PolylineOptions()
customPolylineOptions.color(ContextCompat.getColor(this@MapsActivity, R.color.red))
customPolylineOptions.width(15f)
val routeDrawerWithCustomPolyline = EasyRoutesDrawer.Builder(mMap, customPolylineOptions)
.previewMode(false)
.build()
finally use a map extension function fo pain the route.
mMap.drawRoute(
context = this@MapsActivity,
easyRoutesDirections = placeDirections,
routeDrawer = routeDrawer,
markersListCallback = {markers -> markersList.addAll(markers) },
googleMapsLink = { url -> Log.d("GoogleLink", url)}
){ legs ->
legs?.forEach {
Log.d("Point startAddress:", it?.startAddress.toString())
Log.d("Point endAddress:", it?.endAddress.toString())
Log.d("Distance:", it?.distance.toString())
Log.d("Duration:", it?.duration.toString())
}
}
you can use markersListCallback to get the origin a destination markers painted by default. you can use googleMapsLink to get the url of google maps with the route. you can use legsCallback to get the distance and duration of points in the route.
additional you can use getGoogleMapsLink to get a url of google maps with the route:
binding.mapsDirections.setOnClickListener {
val url = getGoogleMapsLink(placeDirections) //EasyRouteDirections instance like parameter
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url))
startActivity(intent) //Open google maps native app
}
you can remove the route and markers with:
routeDrawer.removeRoute()
routeDrawerWithCustomPolyline.removeRoute()
markersList.forEach {
it.remove()
}
