/**
* The example demonstrates given a pair of coordinates how to fetch a route.
*
* Before running the example make sure you do the following:
* - Put your access_token in the correct place inside [app/src/main/res/values/mapbox_access_token.xml].
* If not present then add this file at the location mentioned above and add the following
* content to it.
* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
* <resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
* <string name="mapbox_access_token">YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE</string>
* </resources>
* - Add MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN to your USER_HOME»/.gradle/gradle.properties file.
* To find out how to get your MAPBOX_DOWNLOADS_TOKEN follow these steps.
* https://docs.mapbox.com/android/beta/navigation/guides/install/#configure-credentials
*
* For the purposes of this example the code will not hook onto your current
* location. Origin and destination coordinates will be hardcoded. To understand how to
* listen to your own location updates go through this example [ShowCurrentLocationActivity]
*
* How to use this example:
* - Click on the example with title (Fetch routes between origin and destination) from the list of examples.
* - You should see a map view and a button.
* - Tap on the button that says Fetch A Route.
* - The button should disappear and you should see a result in a text view
*
* Note: The aim of this example is to only show how to request a route. Once the route is
* requested, neither it is drawn nor any after affects are reflected on the map.
