Draw Polyline from touched location to MyLocation

[Remark@2015-11-01: 
getMyLocation() method is deprecated.
use com.google.android.gms.location.FusedLocationProviderApi instead. FusedLocationProviderApi provides improved location finding and power usage and is used by the "My Location" blue dot. See the MyLocationDemoActivity in the sample applications folder for example example code, or the Location Developer Guide.]

In this exercise, Google Maps Android API v2 is implemented with MyLocation enabled. When user LongClick on the Map, a marker will be drawn, and a Polyline from touched location to MyLocation will be drawn if MyLocation is available.

To get MyLocation programmatically, you have to enable my-location layer by calling setMyLocationEnabled(true). Then call getMyLocation(), it returns the currently displayed user location, or null if there is no location data available. Please noted that MyLocation may be need long time to available.
