Code Highlights
This Code example includes How to display a MapView and draw a route line on the map using NavNextbillionMap
and start navigation with drawn route using NavigationLauncher
In particular, this example code shows the code logic of displaying or hiding route duration symbol via navMap.showRouteDurationSymbol()
function. We could customize the logic based on needs.
Code summary
Map Initialization:
-
The
onMapReady()
method is called when the map is ready to be used. -
The
NavNextbillionMap
class is used to create a navigation-enabled map by passing the MapView and NextbillionMap instances. -
The camera position is set to the origin point with a default zoom level using
CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom()
andNavigationCameraUpdate
.
Fetch route with RouteFetcher
-
Constructs a RouteRequestParams object with the origin, destination, language, and departure time.
-
The
RouteFetcher.getRoute()
method is used to fetch the route using theRouteRequestParams
.
Draw route with/without duration symbol
-
The route is drawn on the map using
navMap.drawRoute()
-
The camera is framed to fit the route using frameCameraToRoute()
-
To show or hide the duration symbol using
navMap.showRouteDurationSymbol(true/false)
-
To clear the drawn route and markers using
navMap.removeRoute()
navMap.clearMarkers()
Start Navigation
-
Creates a
NavLauncherConfig.Builder
and configures the navigation settings, including the location layer render mode and whether to simulate the route. -
The
NavigationLauncher.startNavigation()
method is called to start the navigation activity with the configured NavLauncherConfig.
