Drawing a route between 2 locations Google Maps API Android V2

I was playing around with the Google Maps API V2 on android. Trying to get a path between 2 locations and doing this with the JSON Parsing.

I am getting a route. and the route starts out how it should be. but then at one point it goes the wrong way.

My end destination ends up wrong. And with some other locations my app just gets terminated.

This is what i have done

Here is my makeURL method

public String makeUrl(){
    StringBuilder urlString = new StringBuilder();
    urlString.append("http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json");
    urlString.append("?origin="); //start positie
    urlString.append(Double.toString(source.latitude));
    urlString.append(",");
    urlString.append(Double.toString(source.longitude));
    urlString.append("&destination="); //eind positie
    urlString.append(Double.toString(dest.latitude));
    urlString.append(",");
    urlString.append(Double.toString(dest.longitude));
    urlString.append("&sensor=false&mode=driving");

    return urlString.toString();
}

my JSON parser

public class JSONParser {

static InputStream is = null;
static JSONObject jObj = null;
static String json = "";

public JSONParser() {
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}

public String getJSONFromURL(String url){

    try {
        DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);

        HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
        HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();

        is = httpEntity.getContent();
    } catch(UnsupportedEncodingException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    try {
        BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
        String line = null;

        while((line = reader.readLine()) != null){
            sb.append(line + "\n");
            //Log.e("test: ", sb.toString());
        }

        json = sb.toString();
        is.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        Log.e("buffer error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
    }

    return json;
}

I draw my Path with this method

public void drawPath(String result){
    try{
        final JSONObject json = new JSONObject(result);
        JSONArray routeArray = json.getJSONArray("routes");
        JSONObject routes = routeArray.getJSONObject(0);

        JSONObject overviewPolylines = routes.getJSONObject("overview_polyline");
        String encodedString = overviewPolylines.getString("points");
        Log.d("test: ", encodedString);
        List<LatLng> list = decodePoly(encodedString);

        LatLng last = null;
        for (int i = 0; i < list.size()-1; i++) {
            LatLng src = list.get(i);
            LatLng dest = list.get(i+1);
            last = dest;
            Log.d("Last latLng:", last.latitude + ", " + last.longitude );
            Polyline line = googleMap.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions().add( 
                    new LatLng(src.latitude, src.longitude), new LatLng(dest.latitude, dest.longitude))
                    .width(2)
                    .color(Color.BLUE));
        }

        Log.d("Last latLng:", last.latitude + ", " + last.longitude );
    }catch (JSONException e){
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

And I decode my JSON with

private List<LatLng> decodePoly(String encoded){

    List<LatLng> poly = new ArrayList<LatLng>();
    int index = 0;
    int length = encoded.length();
    int latitude = 0;
    int longitude = 0;

    while(index < length){
        int b;
        int shift = 0;
        int result = 0;

        do {
            b = encoded.charAt(index++) - 63;
            result |= (b & 0x1f) << shift;
            shift += 5;
        } while (b >= 0x20);

        int destLat = ((result & 1) != 0 ? ~(result >> 1) : (result >> 1));
        latitude += destLat;

        shift = 0;
        result = 0;
        do {
            b = encoded.charAt(index++) - 63;
            result |= (b & 0x1f) << shift;
            shift += 5;
        } while (b > 0x20);

        int destLong = ((result & 1) != 0 ? ~(result >> 1) : (result >> 1));
        longitude += destLong;

        poly.add(new LatLng((latitude / 1E5),(longitude / 1E5) ));
    }
    return poly;
}

And then coded with an AsyncTask

Thanks in advance.
