It is possible, because you need an Android API key for loading a map on your activity and Server Key for Getting the Direction between two points. google_maps_api.xml <resources> <!-- TODO: Before you run your application, you need a Google Maps API key. To get one, follow this link, follow the directions and press "Create" at the end: [LINK] You can also add your credentials to an existing key, using this line: FA:7B:BC:CE:B9:9E:4C:81:3D:91:35:B7:60:5E:9A:AA:B8:A5:B6:66;com.itshareplus.googlemapdemo Alternatively, follow the directions here: [LINK] Once you have your key (it starts with "AIza"), replace the "google_maps_key" string in this file. --> <string name="google_maps_key" templateM

I was working on a project in Android Studio(using Java) and used this tutorial to embed Google Maps into my app: [this video] This tutorial enables me to type in a location and destination and find a route between the two. For the purposes of my project, I want to have a list of the coordinates that make up the path; "every" point that the car would travel through. I am fairly new to coding--if there is missing information please feel free to ask me another question. Thank You.
