Directions API. Url provider
Description
In terms of Navigation for Android exists 2 types of Navigation(Router), it's Offline and Online. Both of them needs Route-URL provider.(Offline and Online are different modules , have own dependency graph and might be used independent).
Online Router's Route URL is provided by MapboxDirections that is a part of services-core library(under the hood is Retrofit(+OkHttp) library)
Problem
Offline Router cannot consume url from services-core because it brings "network" dependencies like Retrofit and OkHttp(they shouldn't be in Offline navigation).
Offline Router has own route-url provider RouteUrl
The main issue here: two classes where the same piece of logic exist.
Solution
- keep
service-corelibrary interfaces as it is - create additional library (like
router-url-provider) that depends onservice-directions-modeland (if java doesn't have clever approach for creating url) additional java library
How dependency tree looks now

Suggestion

Pros
router-url-provider might be used independently on service-core 👍

Tagging @langsmith for initial review - you probably are the most familiar with the current set up.

@RingerJK, is this still an issue? I ask because maybe things have changed in https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-navigation-android since you opened this ticket. If so, is it an absolute blocker for navigation work?
@langsmith yes, it's still actual issue. It's not a blocker, because we have opportunity to get url for Offline routing via internal implementation(RouteUrl), but would be great to resolve current issue to avoid problems with url in future
@langsmith @zugaldia I can take it if you're never mind
@RingerJK should we address this issue for 1.0, or can I wait until after?
@zugaldia It's not a blocker for 1.0, event for 1.1. This Issue regarding resolve duplicating code in Navigation SDK and Directions API. Of course we might wait till 1.0 👍
