I am using the Google Maps API in an application. I use Google's autocomplete and the streets come out with accents, but when I pass them to the url to get the distance, it does not return anything.

This is the code:

str= "Calle Doctor José Montilla Bono, Jaén";
str2= "Gran Via, Calle Gran Vía de Colón, Granada";

String urlString = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?origins=" + str + "&destinations=" + str2 + "&mode=driving&key=0000000000000000000";

Generate the query url: link

but the application fails me and if I open that url I get this:

{
  "destination_addresses": [],
  "origin_addresses": [],
  "rows": [],
  "status": "INVALID_REQUEST"
  }

Does anyone know why it can be?

Thank you very much Greetings

The accents do not actually cause the problem, the error is actually specified in the response, it is an "invalid request" because the parameter departure_time is missing:

{destination_addresses: [], error_message: "Invalid request. Missing the 'departure_time' parameter.", origin_addresses: [], rows: [], status: "INVALID_REQUEST"}

Remember that:

The arrival_time parameter (the arrival time) or the departure_time parameter must be specified at any time when request transit directions.

For example if we add the parameters to your original url, we have:

link

the answer:

{
destination_addresses: [
"Calle Gran Vía de Colón, Granada, España"
],
origin_addresses: [
"Calle Dr. José Montilla Bono, 23009 Jaén, España"
],
rows: [
{
elements: [
{
distance: {
text: "92,4 km",
value: 92432
},
duration: {
text: "1h 1 min",
value: 3645
},
status: "OK"
}
]
}
],
status: "OK"
}

It is very important that you get a valid KEY API, since the one you use ( key=0000000000 ) is not valid to use in production.
