Anonymous

07:52

In this exercise, Google Maps Android API v2 is implemented with MyLocation enabled. When user LongClick on the Map, a marker will be drawn, and a Polyline from touched location to MyLocation will be drawn if MyLocation is available.

Polyline from touched location to MyLocation

To get MyLocation programmatically, you have to enable my-location layer by calling setMyLocationEnabled(true). Then call getMyLocation(), it returns the currently displayed user location, or null if there is no location data available. Please noted that MyLocation may be need long time to available.
