[GraphHopper] Calculating paths & display routes (Android)

Hello,

I've got Graphhopper going on my Android device.

Now my goal is to select two points on the map, apply one of the algorithms
(Dijksta, A*, etc) and display results with an overlay.

Due to lack of documentation & being a little bit in a hurry, could
somebody point me where/how to start?

I understand the basics - getting point's coordinates, displaying an
overlay with results. The part where I'm confused is how to apply search
algorithms in Graphhopper?

Should I first make some kind of subgraph (due to efficiency)?
How can I get all the points (on streets, i.e.) between those two points?
Is there something like getStreet(point1, point2) that gives you back most
likely street between your two points?

Pardon my naivety, but I'm new to mapping, routing, etc & my BA thesis'
handing in deadline is coming really fast. ;) any help appreciated!
