Plotting route in Google Maps API fragment(Android)

And there was this amazing guy
who made this absolutely awesome library which solved the problem of plotting a route between two coordinates on a Google maps fragment. Here's the library:

                }

    }

    private int getNodeIndex(NodeList nl, String nodename) {

            if(nl.item(i).getNodeName().equals(nodename))
                return i;
        }
        return -1;
    }

    private ArrayList<LatLng> decodePoly(String encoded) {
        ArrayList<LatLng> poly = new ArrayList<LatLng>();
        int index = 0, len = encoded.length();
        int lat = 0, lng = 0;
        while (index < len) {
            int b, shift = 0, result = 0;
            do {
                b = encoded.charAt(index++) - 63;
                result |= (b & 0x1f) << shift;
                shift += 5;
            } while (b >= 0x20);
            int dlat = ((result & 1) != 0 ? ~(result >> 1) : (result >> 1));
            lat += dlat;
            shift = 0;
            result = 0;
            do {
                b = encoded.charAt(index++) - 63;
                result |= (b & 0x1f) << shift;
                shift += 5;
            } while (b >= 0x20);
            int dlng = ((result & 1) != 0 ? ~(result >> 1) : (result >> 1));
            lng += dlng;

            LatLng position = new LatLng((double) lat / 1E5, (double) lng / 1E5);
            poly.add(position);
        }
        return poly;
    }
}

Add a new Java file, copy the code given above, change the name of the class accordingly.
Now, below is a sample code showing how to use the library, just change the fromPosition and toPosition in your case, and it's done.

LatLng fromPosition = new LatLng(13.687140112679154, 100.53525868803263);
LatLng toPosition = new LatLng(13.683660045847258, 100.53900808095932);

GoogleMap mMap = ((SupportMapFragment)getSupportFragmentManager()
        .findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();
GMapV2Direction md = new GMapV2Direction();

Document doc = md.getDocument(fromPosition, toPosition, GMapV2Direction.MODE_DRIVING);
ArrayList<LatLng> directionPoint = md.getDirection(doc);
PolylineOptions rectLine = new PolylineOptions().width(3).color(Color.RED);

for(int i = 0 ; i < directionPoint.size() ; i++) {          
rectLine.add(directionPoint.get(i));
}
mMap.addPolyline(rectLine);

can u plzz tell me that how to get time duration and distance using this code....thanks

Distance:
Now that you have directionPoint(A List of LatLngs(see code)), you can use Location class, instantiate a variable of that class, supply latitude longitude information from directionPoint while traversing it, and lastly use the Location.distanceTo(Location) to get distance between each LatLng in directionPoint, add em up and you will have the total distance .

Time:
Using GPS:
Read this to get current speed via GPS http://www.androidhub4you.com/2013/06/how-to-get-device-current-speed-in_112.html
time=distance/speed.
And most imprtantly, don't forget to update the distance with respect to current location.
Without using GPS:
Use the accelerometer to get current acceleration of device, use the formula: v=u+at
where v=final velocity
u=initial velocity
a=acceleration
t=time for which the acceleration was achieved
now that you have a and t, initially put u=0, then at the end f each iteration put u=v
now, time=distance/speed, you have distance, you got speed, and now you got time too.
