I am using HERE map SDK in my Android app, I get geo location (lat/lon) every 5 seconds. When move the marker from location 1 to location 2, the marker jumps from location 1 to location 2. Does HERE map SDK have an api to move the marker smoothly from location 1 to location 2?

heres how i did it .
before i start tracking the user' location i get his last known location wiht this line of code :
if (isLocationEnabled()) {
LocationThread thread = new LocationThread(this, location ->{
clearPassageiroMapMarker();
passageiro.setLat(location.getLatitude());
passageiro.setLongitude(location.getLongitude());
addPassageiroMarker(new GeoCoordinates(location.getLatitude(),location.getLongitude()),R.drawable.ic_passageiro);
return null;
});
thread.requestLocation();
notice that i add its marker ONCE and only once .. heres the code for that :
public void addPassageiroMarker(GeoCoordinates geoCoordinates, int resourceId) {
MapImage mapImage = MapImageFactory.fromResource(this.getResources(), resourceId);
Anchor2D anchor = new Anchor2D(0.5f, 1.0f);
mapMarker = new MapMarker(geoCoordinates, mapImage, anchor);
mapView.getMapScene().addMapMarker(mapMarker);
mapMarkerPassageiroList.add(mapMarker);
}
notice that i have a mapmarker declared globably ,because im planning on using only one instance of marker throughout the entire instance of the activity...
heres the line of code that updates the marker whenever u get new set of coordinates :
mapMarker.setCoordinates(new GeoCoordinates(location.getLatitude(),location.getLongitude()));
took me a long while to find it out but im glad i did. however i think if ur loooking for a fancy way of displaying the marker moving like uber has etc, u might have to create an animation of your own.
