Fluent drawing enhancement

[ollesmaps]

Steps to reproduce

At this moment it is not possible to draw continuously. If you want to draw a line (or area) outside screen, you have to 1) finish line 2) pan map 3) begin a new line 4) merge lines.

Expected behaviour

It would be much better if you could let line be unfinished 1) pan map 2) continue line.

Note

This issue was already mentioned by @mlerjen at #534.

Configuration

Android App 0.7.0

Sidenote: If you zoom out/ zoom in - you can continue drawing an unfinished line.

As much as I understood from this issue and from #1175, #1195, we are talking about using the "Pan" tool transiently here.

@lpechacek This might be implemented by activating the PanTool as an override tool to the current tool, instead of as a replacement. I investigated a little bit, and found that we may need a little bit more API and state handling than we have at the moment. I can share the proof of concept.

Ack.

I noticed the concept of override tool in the sources but haven't studied it yet.

That was my conclusion too. Draw path tool state needs to be restored after Pan tool operation is finished. A PoC will surely give a welcome clue. I also won't feel offended if you take over the issue. :)
