The question of how to make gradient polylines has been asked several times, however, I want to know if it is built-in for Android. In the next post, this question is balanced, and someone replied that since May 2015 for Android there have not been gradient polylines:

I have read all the documentation I can find and can’t see anything about the function of the gradient polyline. Am I missing this? Since iOS has been able to do this for three years now.

I cannot imagine that Google is prioritizing iOS for Android. Or are they? Here is the documentation I checked:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/polygon-tutorial
https://developers.google.com/android/reference/com/google/android/gms/maps/model/PolylineOptions
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/groundoverlay
If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be helpful. Or at least confirm that Android is ignored with respect to gradient polylines.
It looks like this is not yet implemented in the Google Maps API for Android.
You can see the following feature requests:

At this point, I think that Google has not put a high priority on these tasks. You can run these feature requests to add your vote and sign up for further notifications.
