Overlay only draws a line between the first two GPS points in Android

Question

I am experiencing an unusual error using ItemizedOverlay in Android.

I am creating a GPS tracking device that displays a route between waypoints stored in a database.

When I provide the first two sets of longitude and latitude points through the emulator in Eclipse, it draws a red line the way I want it, but if I send another GPS point, it will animate the point, but will not draw a line from the last point.

public class MyOverlay extends ItemizedOverlay<OverlayItem> 
{

   // private Projection projection;
private Paint linePaint;
private Vector<GeoPoint> points;

public MyOverlay(Drawable defaultMarker) {
    super(defaultMarker);
    points = new Vector<GeoPoint>();
    //set colour, stroke width etc.
    linePaint = new Paint();
    linePaint.setARGB(255, 255, 0, 0);
    linePaint.setStrokeWidth(3);
    linePaint.setDither(true);
    linePaint.setStyle(Style.FILL);
    linePaint.setAntiAlias(true);
    linePaint.setStrokeJoin(Paint.Join.ROUND);
    linePaint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);

}

public void addPoint(GeoPoint point) {
    points.addElement(point);
}


public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView view, boolean shadow) {
    int size = points.size();
    Point lastPoint = new Point();
    if(size == 0) return;
    view.getProjection().toPixels(points.get(0), lastPoint);
    Point point = new Point();
    for(int i = 1; i<size; i++){
       view.getProjection().toPixels(points.get(i), point);
        canvas.drawLine(lastPoint.x, lastPoint.y, point.x, point.y, linePaint);
        lastPoint = point;
    }
}

@Override
protected OverlayItem createItem(int arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return null;
}

@Override
public int size() {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return 0;
}
}

public class ItemOverLay extends ItemizedOverlay<OverlayItem> {

private ArrayList<OverlayItem> mOverlays = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
GeoPoint prePoint=null,currentPoint=null;
MapView mapView=null;
Paint paint=new Paint();

public ItemOverLay(GeoPoint prePoint,GeoPoint currentPoint, Drawable defaultMarker,MapView mapview) {

    super(boundCenterBottom(defaultMarker));
    this.currentPoint=currentPoint;
    this.prePoint = prePoint;
    mapView=mapview;
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

public void addOverlay(OverlayItem item){
    mOverlays.add(item);
    populate();
}
@Override

    return mOverlays.get(i);
}



    @Override
    public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow) {

        super.draw(canvas, mapView, shadow);

        Paint paint=new Paint();
        Point screenCoords=new Point();
        Point screenCoords1=new Point();

        mapView.getProjection().toPixels(prePoint, screenCoords);
        int x1=screenCoords.x;
        int y1=screenCoords.y;

        mapView.getProjection().toPixels(currentPoint, screenCoords1);
        int x2=screenCoords1.x;
        int y2=screenCoords1.y;

        paint.setStrokeWidth(1);
        canvas.drawLine(x1, y1, x2, y2, paint);




    }

        @Override
    public int size() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return mOverlays.size();
    }

}

Answer 2

view.getProjection().toPixels(points.get(i), point);

point = view.getProjection().toPixels(points.get(i), null);
