Determine shortest distance from point to nearest path (Java)

[J Houer]

Hi, 
After using Graphhopper many years, I want to switch to Brouter. Being a newbie with brouter, can you help me finding a piece of Java code that determines the shortest distance between a point and the nearest path? 

The code I will be using in a personal Android (walking/geocaching) app. 

So, something: 

- read the config (in order to be able to work with even footpaths)

- get access to a RD5 file

- any Java method(s) for determining the shortest distance from point to nearest path. 

I hope you can give me that headstart. 

Kind regards, Johan

BRouter works as a service for other apps.
Please have a look at the aidl interface

and the docs

ToDo: fill a bundle with your parameters, call BRouter service with it and live with the result.
