}

i have searched a lot and couldn't make it work any help please.

Answer 1

Make Array_list of you latLng :-

Then Try This

    arraylist_lat_lon.add(new LatLng(location.getLatitude(), location
                    .getLongitude()));

            /************************** Drawing polyline if there are more than 1 latlngs **************/
            if (arraylist_lat_lon.size() > 1) {

                PolylineOptions polyline_options = new PolylineOptions()
                        .addAll(arraylist_lat_lon).color(Color.GREEN).width(2);

                polyline = googleMap.addPolyline(polyline_options);
