Hi. I have a problem on displaying polylines between 2 markers. First marker for user current location and the second one for the destination location. I already try follow this thread https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/polyline-in-google-map-api-v2.35041/post-318879 . But its not working for me. For now the two marker already displayed on the map. Any idea on how to make the polylines appear?

B4X: 
Sub MapFragment1_Ready
    Sleep(500)
    Log("MapFragment1_Ready")
    Log(MapFragment1.GetOpenSourceLicenseInfo)
    
    gmap = MapFragment1.GetMap
    gmap.MapType = gmap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL
    
    If  gmap.IsInitialized = False Then
        ToastMessageShow("Error initializing map.", True)
    Else
        cpLat = 3.3205
        cpLong = 101.5759
    
        Dim m1 As Marker = gmap.AddMarker(cpLat, cpLong, JobMain.JobAddress) 'destination location
        m1.Snippet = Main.jobs.record.TransID
        
    '    Dim line As Polyline
    '    Dim points As List
    '    Dim point As LatLng
    '    line=gmap.AddPolyline
    '    points.Initialize
        
    '    line.color=Colors.Black
    '    line.Geodesic=True
    '    line.Visible =True
    '    line.Width=2

        Dim m2 As Marker = gmap.AddMarker(GPSModule.latitude,GPSModule.longitude, "You Are Here") 'current location
        m2.Snippet = "Current Location"

        Dim cp As CameraPosition
        cp.Initialize(GPSModule.latitude,GPSModule.longitude, gmap.CameraPosition.Zoom)
        gmap.AnimateCamera(cp)
    End If
End Sub

Sorry for that. This is polyline code that i try using the thread. When i used point.initialize for the current location, the marker not appear on the map. Thats why i used Dim m2 As Marker for the current location

B4X: 
Sub MapFragment1_Ready
    Sleep(500)
    Log("MapFragment1_Ready")
    Log(MapFragment1.GetOpenSourceLicenseInfo)
    
    gmap = MapFragment1.GetMap
    gmap.MapType = gmap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL

    If  gmap.IsInitialized = False Then
        ToastMessageShow("Error initializing map.", True)
    Else
        Dim m1 As Marker = gmap.AddMarker(cpLat, cpLong, JobMain.JobAddress) 'destination location
        m1.Snippet = Main.jobs.record.TransID
        
        Dim line As Polyline
        Dim points As List
        Dim point As LatLng
        line=gmap.AddPolyline
        points.Initialize
        
        line.color=Colors.Black
        line.Geodesic=True
        line.Visible =True
        line.Width=2

        'Dim m2 As Marker = gmap.AddMarker(GPSModule.latitude,GPSModule.longitude, "You Are Here") 'current location
        'm2.Snippet = "Current Location"
        
        Dim point As LatLng
        point.Initialize(GPSModule.latitude, GPSModule.longitude)'current location
        points.Add(point)
        
        line.Points=points
        
        Dim cp As CameraPosition
        cp.Initialize(GPSModule.latitude,GPSModule.longitude, gmap.CameraPosition.Zoom)
        gmap.AnimateCamera(cp)
End Sub

Looks like you are only adding one point to your list of points, you will need at least two to see a line.

You should also check that the GPS is returning valid information before using the data elsewhere

I only have 2 points which is the current location and the destination location. For destination location i call location from geocoder function. How i want to initialize the point for the destination location ? Also i encountered an error at Sub gg_GeocodeDone(Results() As Location, Tag As Object).
Attached with the updated code and error

the error is on Line 51. I think there is a null value been passed in the program.

if you are using this library keep in mind:

Geocoder library

Geocoder library The Geocoder library enables you to geocode coordinates and reverse geocode addresses. The library adds two new Objects to the IDE: Version: 2.1 Address Methods: HasLatitude As Boolean Returns True if a latitude has been assigned to this Address, False otherwise...

    Dim Points As List

    Points.Initialize
    jo.InitializeStatic("com.poly.PolyUtil")
    Points = jo.RunMethod("decode", Array(polyPoints))
