How to generate encoded polylines from shapefile

[Adarsh Madhavan]

Hi all,

I am trying to build and application which displays different zones in google maps in an android platofrm.

I have the zone definitions in an ESRI shape file.

I have heard that the best method of representing polygons is using polyline encoding .

How do I convert a polygons shape file to a Google maps API compatable polyline entity ?

Any help is appreciated.

Regards,

Adarsh
