Description
Android API: Not relevant
Mapbox Navigation SDK version:
implementation 'com.mapbox.navigation:ui:1.0.0-rc.7'
implementation 'com.mapbox.navigation:core:1.0.0-rc.7'
iOS Screenshot (the yellow square with a 2 in it, at the bottom indicates a german federal street):

AND Screenshot of WayNameView:

Only relevant public method: updateWayNameText(String wayNameText).
Steps to trigger behavior
- Try to get the same street name + sign view working as on iOS.
- Use WayNameView, but that only seems to support showing a text
- Documentation doesn't really mention how to customize this or add it to the navigation.
Expected behavior
There should be a view, similar to the iOS one, which receives a RouteProgress or BannerInstructions or whatever and shows the corresponding street name and sign the user is currently driving at.
Actual behavior
Can't find the view :D.

Research direction
Start with the Android UI API around WayNameView and its updateWayNameText(String wayNameText) method, then review the navigation documentation for how UI views are added and customized. Compare the available Android inputs, such as RouteProgress or BannerInstructions, with the requested iOS-style street name and sign display; done means identifying or documenting a working view and integration path.
