I have two locations and i am in need two draw polyline between these two location, I am done with drawing the polyline between these locations.
Issue is, that polyline is of one color but due to requirement i have to draw polyline of two different colors as shown in below:-
if anyone have some meaningful code snippet or some suggestion to this issue...Thanks in advance

Polylines are useful to represent routes, paths, or other connections between locations on the map. Create a PolylineOptions object and add points to it. Each point represents a location on the map, which you define with a LatLng object containing latitude and longitude values.
You've built an Android app containing a Google map, with polygons to represent areas on the map and polylines to represent routes or other connections between locations. You've also learned how to use the Maps SDK for Android . Learn about the Circle object.
A Polyline is a series of connected line segments. Polylines are useful to represent routes, paths, or other connections between locations on the map. Create a PolylineOptions object and add points to it. Each point represents a location on the map, which you define with a LatLng object containing latitude and longitude values.
Add polygons to represent areas on the map. A Polygon is a shape consisting of a series of coordinates in an ordered sequence, similar to a Polyline. The difference is that polygon defines a closed area with a fillable interior, while a polyline is open ended. Create a PolygonOptions object and add points to it.
Since February 15, 2017 you can change the stroke line of a polyline. From the Release Notes (emphasys mine)
This release introduces custom styling for polylines and for the outlines of polygons and circles. Change the stroke pattern from a solid line (default) to your choice of dashes, dots, and gaps. In polylines and polygons, you can specify a bevel or round joint type to replace the default fixed miter joints. You can also change the cap at each end of a polyline from a butt (default) to a square or round cap, or specify a custom bitmap to be used as the cap. The styling of stroke patterns, joint types and start/end caps is available in the full API but not in lite mode.
Take into account that you will need to use Google Play Services 10.2 or above. Thus, in your build.gradle you will need to add:
dependencies {
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:10.2.0'
}
You can specify the stroke pattern of your polyline but you can't change the color, so you will need to draw a solid polyline and a dashed polypine on top of it to reach your desired pattern (take into account that you will be drawing two polylines instead of just one and this can affect the performance):
List<LatLng> latLngs = new ArrayList<>();
// Add all your LatLngs to the List
// Draw a solid green polyline
mMap.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions()
.addAll(latLngs)
.color(Color.GREEN));
// Draw a dashed (60px spaced) blue polyline
List<PatternItem> dashedPattern = Arrays.asList(new Dash(60), new Gap(60));
mMap.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions()
.addAll(latLngs)
.pattern(dashedPattern)
.color(Color.BLUE));
The result looks like this:
