Answer 1

It appears to me that you were simply trying to catch an exception and confused a try-catch block with try-with-resources.

Something like this should work:

String requestUrl = null;
try {
    requestUrl =
        "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?"
      + "mode = driving&"
      + "transit_routing_preference=less_driving&"
      + "origin=" + Ottawa.latitude + "," + Ottawa.longitude + "&"
      + "destination= " + destination + "&"
      + "keys" + getResources().getString(R.string.google_directions_key);
    Log.d("URL", requestUrl);
} catch (Resources.NotFoundException e) {
    // error handling
}

I'd also suggest using String.format() to build requestUrl.
