draw road between two locations in google map v2 android

Question

i'm trying to draw a road/path between two location that i provide my code is currently looking like this :

map = ((MapFragment) getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

LatLng lt = new LatLng(35.7687310, -5.8280540);
map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(lt).title("Home"));
LatLng lt2 = new LatLng(35.7462510, -5.8481330);
map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(lt2).title("School"));

i need to draw a road direction between the two markers , thanks i've searched for solutions but most of them are old & can't run them as they crash ... i hope you could help , thanks

EDIT : my main problem was that i was trying to use my api on another project that doesn't contain the same package name , thanks for your help guys ;)

Try this one:


        if (googleMap == null) {
            googleMap = ((MapFragment)getFragmentManager().findFragmentById(
                    R.id.map_rideshare)).getMap();

            googleMap.clear();
            googleMap.setMapType(GoogleMap.MAP_TYPE_NORMAL);


            v2GetRouteDirection = new GMapV2GetRouteDirection();


            String url = getDirectionsUrl(new LatLng(source_lat,source_long), new LatLng(destination_lat,destination_long));
            DownloadTask downloadTask = new DownloadTask();

            // Start downloading json data from Google Directions API
            downloadTask.execute(url);

            // check if map is created successfully or not
            if (googleMap == null) {
