Code Highlights

This code example shows how to customize the navigation view route line style via themes.xml configuration file, the color of route line-related UI elements are defined in the file.

In the above theme file, we have customized some route line color in style with name CustomRouteStyle, then we applied the CustomRouteStyle in Theme.CustomNavigationRouteLine for day style and Theme.CustomNavigationRouteLineDark for night style. We can also do some further customizations in Theme.CustomNavigationRouteLine and Theme.CustomNavigationRouteLineDark based on needs (e.g. show different UI color during day/night).

In code we use configBuilder.lightThemeResId() and configBuilder.darkThemeResId() to specify the theme for the Navigation view in day style and night style respectively.

Code summary

This code example defined the theme styles Theme_CustomNavigationRouteLine based on NavigationViewLight and Theme_CustomNavigationRouteLineDark based on NavigationViewDark

The navViewRouteStyle item is set to @style/CustomRouteStyle. The CustomRouteStyle customizes the appearance of the navigation route line in the navigation view.

The following items are defined within CustomRouteStyle:

  • routeColor to specify the color of the route line

  • routeScale and alternativeRouteScale to determine the scale of the route line and alternative route lines respectively

  • routeShieldColor to set the color of the shields along the route

  • maneuverArrowColor and maneuverArrowBorderColor to define the colors of the maneuver arrows

  • routeWayNameBackGroundColor and routeWayNameTextColor to specify the background color and text color of the route way names.

configBuilder.lightThemeResId(R.style.Theme_CustomNavigationRouteLine) sets the light theme for the navigation UI, using the Theme_CustomNavigationRouteLine style defined earlier. This style determines the appearance of the route line in the navigation view.

configBuilder.darkThemeResId(R.style.Theme_CustomNavigationRouteLineDark) sets the dark theme for the navigation UI, using the Theme_CustomNavigationRouteLineDark style defined earlier. This style is applied when the device's dark mode is enabled.

Besides, the action after clicking the fetch route button shows how to fetch a route using NBNavigation.fetchRoute(origin, destination, new Callback<DirectionsResponse>() { ... }); The origin and destination points are passed as parameters, along with a callback to handle the response asynchronously.
