Display directions for a route between two points.
      
   
    
Use case
Find routes with driving directions between any number of locations. You might use the ArcGIS platform to create a custom network for routing on a private roads.
How to use the sample
For simplicity, the sample comes loaded with a start and end stop. You can tap on the "Find Route" button to display a route between these stops. Once the route is generated, turn-by-turn directions are shown in a list. You can use the "Reset" button to reset the sample.
How it works
- Create a RouteTaskusing a URL to an online route service.
- Generate default RouteParametersusingrouteTask.createDefaultParametersAsync().
- Use setReturnDirectionson the parameters and set to true.
- Use setStopson the parameters to addStops to its stops collection for each destination.
- Solve the route using routeTask.solveAsync(routeParameters)to get aRouteResult.
- Iterate through the result's Routes. To display the route, create a graphic using the geometry fromroute.getRouteGeometry(). To display directions, useroute.getDirectionManeuvers(), and for eachDirectionManeuver, displayDirectionManeuver.getDirectionText().
