How to draw interactive Polyline on route google maps v2 android
i have the following code which is drawing polylines for me and working fine, But the problem is that its not drawing interactive polylines, drawn lines are missing some pixels !

Code is Working fine And Drawing Route from one place to another but not drawing the interactive Routes
Screent Shot :- 
I think problem is with my drawPath() method :
public void drawPath(String result) {
if (line != null) {
myMap.clear();
}
myMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(endLatLng).icon(
BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.redpin_marker)));
myMap.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(startLatLng).icon(
BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.redpin_marker)));
try {
// Tranform the string into a json object
final JSONObject json = new JSONObject(result);
JSONArray routeArray = json.getJSONArray("routes");
JSONObject routes = routeArray.getJSONObject(0);
JSONObject overviewPolylines = routes
.getJSONObject("overview_polyline");
String encodedString = overviewPolylines.getString("points");
List<LatLng> list = decodePoly(encodedString);
for (int z = 0; z < list.size() - 1; z++) {
LatLng src = list.get(z);
LatLng dest = list.get(z + 1);
line = myMap.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions()
.add(new LatLng(src.latitude, src.longitude),
new LatLng(dest.latitude, dest.longitude))
.width(5).color(Color.BLUE).geodesic(true));
}
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Ignore The markers just suggest me about adding interactive polyline?
Answer
Instead of creating too many short Polylines just create one like here:
PolylineOptions options = new PolylineOptions().width(5).color(Color.BLUE).geodesic(true);
for (int z = 0; z < list.size(); z++) {
LatLng point = list.get(z);
options.add(point);
}
line = myMap.addPolyline(options);
I'm also not sure you should use geodesic when your points are so close to each other.
