Question

I’m trying to develop an Android App to go with my web app http://www.scroutenise.com, so I made a backend API to mimic the behaviour of the Javascript app which returns

1. A Google Maps DirectionsResult
2. A bunch of Google Maps Places

Both are in the same format provided by the Google Maps API. Great – with JS I can easily render this on a Google Map.

So far in my App I’m successfully communicating with the API and getting the full results – keep in mind the API is a WebSockets API so there’s no URL – and I’ve got a Google Map showing.

The only thing I can’t find documentation or tutorials for is how to display directions on the map. I’m sure I could figure out how to place Markers, but the directions aspect is a pretty important aspect of my app. Is it even possible? Are there some Ts&Cs that Google has to stop people from making a directions-related app?

Thanks for reading, I hope somebody can help 🙂

I don’t get what you means by directions here, But you can draw path using the way described in this post.
