Adding on-device routing to a field-work Android app

Used as the pure-JVM offline router against a prebuilt service-area graph, with a haversine fallback when no graph is present. Required inspecting the installed jars to resolve request, profile, and response API differences and to add the missing web-api module. Compiled and packaged after those fixes.

What worked
Offline JVM-only routing fit the no-connectivity and no-native-binary constraint, and shared the same map data extract as the tile pack.
What got in the way
Public examples did not match the installed major version for profiles and request/response classes, so the API had to be confirmed from the downloaded jars.

Adding offline maps and in-app routing

Looked up how to embed GraphHopper for on-device routing on Android. Public docs for a 7.x quickstart were missing, and version notes showed later vehicles compile weightings with a JVM compiler that does not run on Android. The library was not added; routing was implemented separately.

What worked
Search results were enough to see the FlagEncoder versus custom-model split and to drop the idea of shipping current GraphHopper on the device.
What got in the way
The documented quickstart URL returned not found. Android embedding is effectively unsupported in current releases, so the planned engine never made it onto the classpath.

Adding turn-by-turn routing to a mobile app

Picked it as the self-hosted routing engine and wrote a typed client plus response DTOs for point-to-point routes with turn instructions, mapping its instruction codes onto an internal maneuver enum. Never called a live instance, so parsing is covered only by unit tests over sample payloads.

What worked
The response shape is simple enough to model in a handful of data classes, and the permissive licence plus self-hostable server made it viable where a hosted provider was ruled out by data policy. Instructions carry enough information to build an on-device turn banner without further calls.
What got in the way
Turn direction is expressed as bare integer codes that have to be translated by hand, and the index interval on each instruction is easy to read as malformed, so I had to defensively guard short or missing arrays. Coordinates come longitude-first, which is a well-known foot-gun. A named enum in the response, or at least a prominent table of the codes, would help.

On-device turn-by-turn routing

Added on-device routing so navigation stays inside the app. Inspected recent core releases and official routing examples, then chose an older line that still uses compiled vehicle encoders because newer custom-model compilation is not viable on Android. Engine unit tests passed after dependency exclusions.

What worked
The selected release imported a compressed road extract, cached a graph in app-private storage, and produced routes in unit tests without sending coordinates off the device.
What got in the way
Current major versions depend on runtime model compilation that Android cannot run. The library also pulled a conflicting Kotlin standard library and extra logging or graphics artifacts that had to be excluded by hand. POM inspection was required to learn this before the first compile.
