Constructors

Constructs a new builder of Step.

Constructs a new builder of Step with a cue.

A cue can be used as a fallback when Maneuver is not set or is unavailable.

Some cluster displays do not support UTF-8 encoded characters, in which case unsupported characters will not be displayed properly.

See Step.Builder.setCue(CharSequence) for details on span support in the input string.

Constructs a new builder of Step with a cue, with support for multiple length variants.

See Step.Builder.setCue(CharSequence) for details on span support in the input string.

Methods

Sets the maneuver to be performed on this step.

Adds the information of a single road lane at the point where the driver should execute this step.

Lane information is primarily used when the step is passed to the vehicle cluster or heads up displays. Some vehicles may not use the information at all. The navigation template primarily uses the lanes image provided in Step.Builder.setLanesImage(CarIcon).

Lanes are displayed from left to right.

Sets an image representing all the lanes.

This image takes priority over Lanes that may have been added with Step.Builder.addLane(Lane). If an image is added for the lanes with this method then corresponding lane data using Step.Builder.addLane(Lane) must also have been added in case it is shown on a display with limited resources such as the car cluster or heads-up display (HUD).

This image should ideally have a transparent background.

Image Sizing Guidance

To minimize scaling artifacts across a wide range of car screens, apps should provide images targeting a 500 x 74 dp bounding box. If the image exceeds this maximum size in either one of the dimensions, it will be scaled down to be centered inside the bounding box while preserving its aspect ratio.

See CarIcon for more details related to providing icon and image resources that work with different car screen pixel densities.

Sets a text description of this maneuver.

A cue can be used as a fallback when Maneuver is not set or is unavailable.

For example "Turn left", "Make a U-Turn", "Sharp Right", or "Take the exit using the left lane"

The cue string can contain CarIconSpans, DistanceSpans, and DurationSpans.

In the following example, the "520" text is replaced with an icon:

 SpannableString string = new SpannableString("Turn right on 520 East");
 string.setSpan(textWithImage.setSpan(
     CarIconSpan.create(new CarIcon.Builder(
         IconCompat.createWithResource(getCarContext(), R.drawable.ic_520_highway))),
         14, 17, SPAN_INCLUSIVE_EXCLUSIVE));
 

The host may choose to display the string without the images, so it is important that the string content is readable without the images. This may be the case, for example, if the string is sent to a cluster display that does not support images, or if the host limits the number of images that may be allowed for one line of text.

Image Sizing Guidance

The size these images will be displayed at varies depending on where the Step object is used. Refer to the documentation of those APIs for details.

See CarIcon for more details related to providing icon and image resources that work with different car screen pixel densities.

See also: CarText

Sets a text description of the road for the step.

This value is primarily used for vehicle cluster and heads-up displays and may not appear in the navigation template.

For example, a Step for a left turn might provide "State Street" for the road.

Only DistanceSpans and DurationSpans are supported in the input string.
