You can Launch Google Maps Directions via an intent on Android through this way

btn_search_route.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            String source = et_source.getText().toString();
            String destination = et_destination.getText().toString();

            if (TextUtils.isEmpty(source)) {
                et_source.setError("Enter Soruce point");
            } else if (TextUtils.isEmpty(destination)) {
                et_destination.setError("Enter Destination Point");
            } else {
                String sendstring="http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=" +
                        source +
                        "&daddr=" +
                        destination;
                Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                        Uri.parse(sendstring));
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        }

    });
