Full implementation of Google Maps Directions Service on My Android App

I have searched for hours on the web for an example of implementing the direccions service on my android app.

I am using the google maps android api 2.

Basically I want the directions from the actual position and a marker position selected by the user.

I want to make clear that I don´t want to launch a web browser or the google maps aplication, I want to implement the service on my own app.

Till now I found some examples about drawing the route on tha map, which are ok

Get driving directions using Google Maps API v2

so I just miss the indications part of the service so y can show on my own listview with arrows (turn to left , to right , etc).

Thanks for reading my question

I'm not sure what you want. In your second link about Google Map API v2, the data for drawing maps comes from maps.googleapis.com .You can see https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/ for more documentation about that.

The xml returned from maps.googleapis.com include <html_instructions> tag which contains instruction like turn left or turn right. So you just need to parse that xml and use <html_instructions> tag for information you need on your listview.

I hope this helps.
