Change the color of polyline in android google map v2

I have this code found from this link https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android/shapes#customizing_appearances

Polyline line = map.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions()
    .add(new LatLng(-37.81319, 144.96298), new LatLng(-31.95285, 115.85734))
    .width(25)
    .color(Color.BLUE)
    .geodesic(true));

My Problem is Color in Color.Blue returns an error saying The name Color does not exist in the current context.

The right answer as of Android 6.0 is to use R.color directly:

PolylineOptions rectLine = new PolylineOptions().width(4).color(R.color.cyan);

Try this:

PolylineOptions lineOptions = new PolylineOptions();
lineOptions.addAll(points);
lineOptions.width(12);
lineOptions.color(Color.BLUE); //this is for color
lineOptions.geodesic(true);

What worked for me was just this:

                      lineoptions.color(getResources().getColor(R.color.colorP));

Where colorP is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><resources><color name="colorP">#ff8100</color></resources>

in color file

Another working solution is:

import android.graphics.Color;

and then use:

Color.BLUE

to represent the blue color like you did the fist time. No need to create the Color.xml file.

I already solved my problem.

First I created an xml file in my values folder Color.xml

Color.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <color name="blue">#0000EE</color>
</resources>

Then in my Activity

Polyline line = map.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions()
    .Add(new LatLng(-37.81319, 144.96298), new LatLng(-31.95285, 115.85734))
    .InvokeColor(Resources.GetColor(Resource.Color.blue));

Try this:

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

                polyline = googleMap.addPolyline(polyline_options);

Before this, add color xml to you values folder, and define all colors what you want. Just like this manner:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>

   <color name="blue">#82CAFF</color>
    <color name="red">#FF0000</color>
    <color name="white">#FFFFFF</color>
    <color name="black">#000000</color>
    <color name="symptom_color_selected">#003366</color>
    <color name="reaction_color_selected">#003366</color>
    <color name="static_text_color">#003366</color>
    <color name="journal_entry_listitem_text_color">#003366</color>
    <color name="note_text_disabled">#333333</color>
    <color name="blue">#0000FF</color>
    <color name="navy">#6699FF</color>
    <color name="sky">#0099CC</color>
    <color name="gray">#808080</color>
    <color name="lightgray">#e7e7e7</color>
    <color name="lightgray02">#bfbfbf</color>
    <color name="dark">#000015</color>
    <color name="lightgreen">#336666</color>
    <color name="orrange">#e33d1b</color>
    <color name="darkorrange">#cc2303</color>
    <color name="pressed_color">#FF8E4067</color>
    <color name="focussed_color">#DD8E4067</color>

</resources>

Instead of creating too many short Polylines just create one like here:

PolylineOptions options = new PolylineOptions().width(5).color(Color.BLUE).geodesic(true);

Here, sets geodesic(true) whether to draw each segment of the line as a geodesic or not.

Just define a color in your colors resources file and do this:

PolylineOptions rectLine = new PolylineOptions().width(4).color(context.getResources().getColor(R.color.cyan));

Works great for me.
