Map View draw directions using google Directions API - decoding polylines

Viewed 15560

I'm trying to use the Google directions API to show directions on my mapview but I am having difficulties getting the data from the JSON response. I can get the "levels" and "points" strings but can't work out how to decode them to points on the map.

Any help would be much appreciated.

below code decode any encoded polyline

private List<LatLng> decodePoly(String encoded) {
    List<LatLng> poly = new ArrayList<>();
    int index = 0, len = encoded.length();
    int lat = 0, lng = 0;

    while (index < len) {
        int b=0, shift = 0, result = 0;
        do {
            if(index<len) {
                b = encoded.charAt(index++) - 63;
            }
            result |= (b & 0x1f) << shift;
            shift += 5;
        } while (b >= 0x20);
        int dlat = ((result & 1) != 0 ? ~(result >> 1) : (result >> 1));
        lat += dlat;

        shift = 0;
        result = 0;
        do {
            if(index<len) {
                b = encoded.charAt(index++) - 63;
            }
            result |= (b & 0x1f) << shift;
            shift += 5;
        } while (b >= 0x20);
        int dlng = ((result & 1) != 0 ? ~(result >> 1) : (result >> 1));
        lng += dlng;

        LatLng p = new LatLng((((double) lat / 1E5)),
                (((double) lng / 1E5)));
        poly.add(p);
    }

    return poly;
}
