Code Highlights
The example code represents a NavigationActivity class that allows users to fetch a route and start navigation using the NavigationLauncher class provided by the navigation SDK.
Code Explanation
The code example defines a layout file activity_main.xml
that contains a vertical LinearLayout
with two Button views (fetchRoute
and startNav
), a TextView
(routeGeometry
), and a ProgressBar
(progress
).
The associated Java class NavigationActivity
extends AppCompatActivity
and implements the OnClickListener
interface. In the onCreate
method, the layout elements are initialized and click listeners are set for the buttons.
When the fetchRoute
button is clicked, a network request is made using the NBNavigation
class to fetch a route between two geographic points (origin and destination). The response is received asynchronously in the onResponse
callback. If the response is successful and contains at least one route, the first route is stored in the directionsRoute
variable, and its geometry is displayed in the routeGeometry
text view. The startNav
button is enabled to allow navigation to be started.
When the startNav
button is clicked, a NavLauncherConfig
is created with the stored directionsRoute
and some configuration options. The navigation is then started using the NavigationLauncher.startNavigation
method.

Start navigation
NavLauncherConfig
object is created with the previously fetched route and additional configuration options such as location layer render mode and route simulation. TheNavigationLauncher.startNavigation
method is called to start the navigation activity with the provided configuration.
