Adding polylines in asynctask android

Question

i\'m having performance issues adding polylines and thought that maybe it\'ll be possible to add them in a separate class extending AsyncTask. However as i learned that UI e

Answer 1

I solved this issue in a way that i did not add every polyline map separately but whole polyline. For example, before i had my location about 4km away from destination and it had 280 polylines between. On every onLocationChange these polylines were drawn one-by-one to map. Now they're all added at once - AsyncTask will create polylines in the background and in the post-execute they will be added.

@Override
protected Object doInBackground(Object[] params) {
    PolylineOptions options = new PolylineOptions().width(5).color(Color.BLUE).geodesic(true);
    for (int z = 0; z < polyline.size(); z++) {
        LatLng point = polyline.get(z);
        options.add(point);
    }
    return options;
}

protected void onPostExecute(Object result) {
    Polyline line = mMap.addPolyline((PolylineOptions) result);
}

you can use this code

ublic class DrawrootTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, String> {
private Context context;
public static boolean flagCompleted = false;
private GoogleMap googleMap;
private double source_lat = 0.0;
private double source_long = 0.0;
private double dest_lat = 0.0;
private double dest_long = 0.0;
Userdata userdata;
String tag = "DrawRootTask";
private ProgressDialog progressDialog;
public static double dist, time;
private Polyline line;
String distanceText = "";
String durationText = "";

public DrawrootTask(Context context, LatLng source, LatLng destination,
        GoogleMap googleMap) {
    source_lat = source.latitude;
    source_long = source.longitude;
    dest_lat = destination.latitude;
    dest_long = destination.longitude;

    this.googleMap = googleMap;
    this.context = context;
    userdata = Userdata.getinstance(context);

}

protected void onPreExecute() {
    // // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onPreExecute();
    progressDialog = new ProgressDialog(context);
    progressDialog.setMessage(context.getResources().getString(
            R.string.please_wait));
    progressDialog.setIndeterminate(true);
    progressDialog.show();

}

@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {

    String json = "";

    // constructor
    StringBuilder urlString = new StringBuilder();
    urlString.append("http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json");
    HashMap<String, String> keyValue = new HashMap<String, String>();
    urlString.append("?origin=");// from
    urlString.append(Double.toString(source_lat));
    urlString.append(",");
    urlString.append(Double.toString(source_long));
    urlString.append("&destination=");// to
    urlString.append(Double.toString(dest_lat));
    urlString.append(",");
    urlString.append(Double.toString(dest_long));
    urlString.append("&sensor=false&mode=driving&alternatives=true");

    // defaultHttpClient
    String url = urlString.toString();
    FetchUrl fetchurl = new FetchUrl();
    json = fetchurl.fetchUrl(url, keyValue);

    Log.e("Buffer Error", json);
    return json;
