I am trying to draw route on mapview using Google Direction API. I am using the solution from the Stack Overflow itself but I am getting some errors regarding initializers.
Will the directions route will be same as Google Map itself or a straight one?
Also where should I call this methods?
I am getting error as:
Cannot invoke initializer for type 'GMSCoordinateBounds' with an argument list of type '(coordinate: String, String, coordinate: String, String)'
Below is the code:
func getRouteSteps(from source: CLLocationCoordinate2D, to destination: CLLocationCoordinate2D) {
let session = URLSession.shared
let url = URL(string: "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=\(lat),\(long)&destination=\(directionlat),\(directionlong)&sensor=false&mode=driving&key=\(API KEY)")!
let task = session.dataTask(with: url, completionHandler: {
(data, response, error) in
guard error == nil else {
print(error!.localizedDescription)
return
}
guard let jsonResult = try? JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data!, options: .allowFragments) as? [String: Any] else {
print("error in JSONSerialization")
return
}
guard let routes = jsonResult!["routes"] as? [Any] else {
return
}
guard let route = routes[0] as? [String: Any] else {
return
}
guard let legs = route["legs"] as? [Any] else {
return
}
guard let leg = legs[0] as? [String: Any] else {
return
}
guard let steps = leg["steps"] as? [Any] else {
return
}
for item in steps {
guard let step = item as? [String: Any] else {
return
}
guard let polyline = step["polyline"] as? [String: Any] else {
return
}
guard let polyLineString = polyline["points"] as? String else {
return
}
//Call this method to draw path on map
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.drawPath(from: polyLineString)
}
}
})
task.resume()
}
Function to draw polyline:
func drawPath(from polyStr: String){
let mapView: GMSMapView
let path = GMSPath(fromEncodedPath: polyStr)
let polyline = GMSPolyline(path: path)
polyline.strokeWidth = 3.0
polyline.map = mapView // Google MapView
//
let cameraUpdate = GMSCameraUpdate.fit(GMSCoordinateBounds(coordinate: "\(lat)","\(long)", coordinate: "\(directionlat)","\(directionlong)")) as? [String : AnyObject]
mapView.moveCamera(cameraUpdate)
let currentZoom = mapView.camera.zoom
mapView.animate(toZoom: currentZoom - 1.4)
}
GMSCoordinatesBounds
takes CLLocationCoordinates2D
type as parameter, not String
.
replace
let cameraUpdate = GMSCameraUpdate.fit(GMSCoordinateBounds(coordinate: "\(lat)","\(long)", coordinate: "\(directionlat)","\(directionlong)")) as? [String : AnyObject]
with
let cameraUpdate = GMSCameraUpdate.fit(GMSCoordinateBounds(coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: Double(lat), longitude: Double(long)), coordinate: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: Double(directionlat), longitude: Double(directionlat))))
and once you have added the mapView to your view controller and got the coordinates, call your function
self.getRouteSteps(from source: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: Double(lat), longitude: Double(long)), destination: CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: Double(directionlat), longitude: Double(directionlat)))
