Find a route to the closest facility from a location.
Use case
Quickly and accurately determining the most efficient route between a location and a facility is a frequently encountered task. For example, a paramedic may need to know which hospital in the vicinity offers the possibility of getting an ambulance patient critical medical care in the shortest amount of time. Solving for the closest hospital to the ambulance's location using an impedance of "travel time" would provide this information.
How to use the sample
Click near any of the hospitals and a route will be displayed from that clicked location to the nearest hospital.
How it works
- Create a
ClosestFacilityTaskusing an Url from an online service. - Get a
ClosestFacilityParametersfrom this task, usingcreateDefaultParameters. - Add a list of facilities to the task parameters, using
ClosestFacilityParameters.setFacilities. - Add an incident to the parameters, using
ClosestFacilityParameters.setIncidents(. - Get the
ClosestFacilityResultfrom solving the task with parameters: ,ClosestFacilityTask.solveClosestFacility. - Get the ranked list of the indices of the closest facilities to the incident,
ClosestFacilityResult.rankedFacilities. - Get the index of the closest facility (e.g. the first index in the ranked list).
- Find the closest facility route,
ClosestFacilityResult.route. - Display the route on the
MapView:
- create a
Graphicfrom the route geometry,route.routeGeometry. - add graphic to
GraphicsOverlaywhich is attached to the mapview.
