Easy to use library to get and display driving directions on Google Maps v2 in Android. This library gives you directions and displays the route on the map.
Only works with Google Maps v2
GoogleMap map = getMap();
Navigator nav = new Navigator(map,start,end);
nav.findDirections(true, false);Sometimes you may need to know when the path is finished being displayed so you can show all the different route segments in a listview or something.
Simple just implement the onPathSetListener
nav.setOnPathSetListener(this);make sure your fragment or activity implements the interface OnPathSetListener then implement onPathSetListenerand you will get the callback when the path is ready
As per Google's TOS using this library to supply turn-by-turn directions is strictly prohibited
