Getting started with the Java client

[karussell]

Question: I am really confused in using Route Optimization API. I just cloned the directions-api-vrp-java-client. Now i want to test the example given. So what should i do after cloning the API from the repository. Could you guys be able to provide a documentation for this as well. I am just a beginner in android programming.

Answer: After you cloned the repository execute the steps described under 'Maven' to build the client jar locally and include the maven xml snippet in your project. Then use one of the examples to use the API for your needs.

Question Do i copy those all jar files under my project's lib folder?*

Answer Yes, all jars are currently required, plus directions-api-vrp-java-client-0.4.2.jar in the target folder. But the simplest would be if you use Maven or gradle. As for Android development the preferred IDE is now IntelliJ which uses gradle as build system this should be very easy and you only need to include the snippet to the directions-api-vrp-java-client which then fetches all dependencies automatically.
