UI

Features

1. Address Search (Required): Users can search for an address. The application will return a list of addresses that match the search query.

2. Display Search Results (Required): The application displays the search results in a list. Each item in the list shows the address.

3. Open Google Maps for Directions (Required): Users can click on an address to open Google Maps and get directions to the address.

4. Highlight Search Keywords in the Result (Optional): The application highlights the search keywords in the search results.

5. Implement 1-second Search Debounce (Optional): The application waits for the user to stop typing for 1 second before performing the search. This reduces the number of API calls and improves performance.

Getting Started

To get started with this project, you need to have the Android SDK and Android Studio installed on your machine.

API Documentation

API Authentication

The application uses the HERE Identity & Access Management for API authentication. You can find the authentication documentation at the provided link.

Register a New App

API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

Replace "your_api_key_here" with your actual API key.
