Drawing tool on google maps in android

I am need of some requirement like, I need to draw a shape on google maps and when the touch is removed, then do some action with the plotted area. Drawing and performing action is secondary. But the question is how could I achieve this?

Is there any predefined drawing tool(something like Location button on google maps) to be used in google maps, or do I need to go with customization? Please suggest, or provide any links. Please don't say that this is not possible.

enter image description here

I have gone through all searches and with the last hope came here for solution.

Please help! Any help will be appreciated!!

Thanks in advance!!

As G. Blake Meike suggested, put a transparent View atop the map (e.g., using a FrameLayout for Z-axis ordering), and implement your drawing on that View. There are various "fingerpaint" samples around that you could use as the starting point for your drawing logic.

I fail to see what the location button has to do with a drawing tool. Regardless, there is no freehand drawing tool that is part of either the Android SDK or the Play Services Framework.
