(Android) Is it possible to change the shape of the polyline in google maps?


I know we can change the color of the polyline by using "polylineOptions.color(YOUR_COLOR);" bit is it possible to set a shape on it? (I would like the like to have a blue border and be white inside if the route that needs to be completed and if completed, set the color to blue -no more border)

This is what I have so far, I call this function 2 times, once for the completed path and then for the path to be completed:

  public void createProgressRouteOnMap( ArrayList<LatLng> route, boolean done){
    if(done) {
        if(polyline != null){
            polyline.remove();
        }
    }else{
        if(polyline2 != null){
            polyline2.remove();
        }
    }
    PolylineOptions polyLineOptions = new PolylineOptions();
    polyLineOptions.addAll(route);
    polyLineOptions.width(10);
    if(done){
        polyLineOptions.color(getResources().getColor(R.color.background));
    }else{
        polyLineOptions.color(getResources().getColor(R.color.blue_route));
    }
    if(mMap == null){
        setUpMapIfNeeded();
    }
    if(done) {
        polyline = mMap.addPolyline(polyLineOptions);
    }else{
        polyline2 = mMap.addPolyline(polyLineOptions);
    }

}

Solution

  • This will do?

     GoogleMap map;
     // Add a thick blue line
     Polyline line = map.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions()
         .add(new LatLng1, new LatLng2)
         .width(10)
         .color(Color.BLUE));
     // Add a thin white line
     Polyline line = map.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions()
         .add(new LatLng1, new LatLng2)
         .width(4)
         .color(Color.WHITE));
