Download

Add the Jitpack repository to your root build file. The way you do this depends on the Gradle plugin you are using:

// for gradle plugin 7.0.0 or newer (default for new apps since Android Studio Artic Fox)
// in settings.gradle
dependencyResolutionManagement {
    ...
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

// for older versions, in project-level build.gradle
allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Finally, in your dependencies list

dependencies {
    implementation 'com.github.ticofab:android-gpx-parser:2.2.0'
}

Usage

In Java:

GPXParser parser = new GPXParser(); // consider injection
Gpx parsedGpx = null;
try {
    InputStream in = getAssets().open("test.gpx");
    parsedGpx = parser.parse(in); // consider using a background thread
} catch (IOException | XmlPullParserException e) {
    // do something with this exception
    e.printStackTrace();
}
if (parsedGpx == null) {
    // error parsing track
} else {
    // do something with the parsed track
    // see included example app and tests
}

In Kotlin:

val parser = GPXParser() // consider injection
try {
    val input: InputStream = getAssets().open("test.gpx")
    val parsedGpx: Gpx? = parser.parse(input) // consider using a background thread
    parsedGpx?.let {
        // do something with the parsed track
        // see included example app and tests
    } ?: {
        // error parsing track
    }
} catch (e: IOException) {
    // do something with this exception
    e.printStackTrace()
} catch (e: XmlPullParserException) {
    // do something with this exception
    e.printStackTrace()
}
