    <p>I have developed an Android application that uses the Google maps and draws a route path from point A to B on the map. I have used the methods mentioned in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11389995/directional-arrow-from-source-to-destination-driving-directions">this</a> post, and everything was working fine. Over the past days, I've tested the result on the emulator and on my phone, and the route path was successfully drawn.</p> <p>However, without modifying literally ANYTHING in code, today I realized that the route path drawing fails and the app crashes. As I am expected to do, I use the following code to "build" the uri link for the KML file generation:</p> <pre><code>public static String getUrl(double fromLat, double fromLon, double toLat, double toLon) {// connect to map web service StringBuffer urlString = new StringBuffer(); urlString.append("http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&amp;hl=en"); urlString.append("&amp;saddr=");// from urlString.append(Double.toString(fromLat)); urlString.append(","); urlString.append(Double.toString(fromLon)); urlString.append("&amp;daddr=");// to urlString.append(Double.toString(toLat)); urlString.append(","); urlString.append(Double.toString(toLon)); urlString.append("&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;0&amp;om=0&amp;output=kml"); return urlString.toString(); } </code></pre> <p>This function returns a Uri like "<strong><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&amp;hl=en&amp;saddr=35.5133804,24.0421933&amp;daddr=35.511732,23.974715&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;0&amp;om=0&amp;output=kml" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&amp;hl=en&amp;saddr=35.5133804,24.0421933&amp;daddr=35.511732,23.974715&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;0&amp;om=0&amp;output=kml</a></strong>" for the kml file. However, after experimenting I realized that now with the exact same KML link as above, the SAX parser tries to parse <strong>the entire Google maps web page source code</strong>! When my app was working, I was downloading the generated kml file and parsed it successfully locally, which was of this form:</p> <pre><code>?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0"&gt; &lt;Document&gt; ... &lt;/Document&gt; &lt;/kml&gt; </code></pre> <p>In contrast, now the downloaded file is the entire Google maps web page, which has the following form:</p> <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;&lt;html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="content-type"/&gt; &lt;meta content="Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps" name="description"/&gt; &lt;link href="//maps.gstatic.com/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon"/&gt; &lt;noscript&gt; &lt;meta content="0; URL=/m/directions?dirflg=&amp;amp;saddr=35.5133804,24.0421933&amp;amp;daddr=35.511732,23.974715&amp; amp;hl=en&amp;amp;oi=nojs" http-equiv="refresh"/&gt; &lt;/noscript&gt; &lt;title&gt; ... tick('ua');var id = 'none';if (event.target){id = closestParentId(event.target);}else if (event.srcElement){ id = closestParentId(event.srcElement);} var firstUserAction = event.type + '-' + id; </code></pre> <p>Of course this is the literal Google maps web page source that shows the route path when I view the page from my PC. So my question is if anyone experienced the same VERY weird problem that started happening just like this. </p> <p>Thank you!</p>

    2. COThank you very much geocodezip! I've been spending the past days looking for posts at the SO website whether I was doing something wrong, but it never occurred to me that Google would have made changes just like that... REALLY ANNOYING!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
