How to calculate distance between two locations using their longitude and latitude value

Question

Here my code I used below code to calculate the distance between two location using their latitude and longitude  It is giving wrong distance  sometimes getting right and sometimes getting irrelevant distance    We are getting lat1 and lng1 from database     getting lat2 and lng2 from GPS as below  public class MyLocationListener implements LocationListener       Override   public void onLocationChanged Location loc          lat2 loc getLatitude        lng2 loc getLongitude        String Text    My current location is      Latitud      loc getLatitude     Longitud       loc getLongitude           System out println  Lat  amp  Lang form Loc  Text         Toast makeText  getApplicationContext    Text Toast LENGTH SHORT  show            Override   public void onProviderDisabled String provider              Override   public void onProviderEnabled String provider              Override   public void onStatusChanged String provider  int status  Bundle extras                Calculating distance   double earthRadius   3958 75     double dLat   Math toRadians lat1-lat2     double dLng   Math toRadians lng1-lng2     double a   Math sin dLat 2    Math sin dLat 2                 Math cos Math toRadians lat2     Math cos Math toRadians lat1                  Math sin dLng 2    Math sin dLng 2     double c   2   Math atan2 Math sqrt a   Math sqrt 1-a      double dist   earthRadius   c

Why are you writing the code for calculating the distance by yourself    Check the api s in Location class

There is an android location Location distanceBetween   method which does this quite well   Android Developer Docs  Location

Try this code   startPoint distanceTo endPoint  function returns the distance between those places in meters   Location startPoint new Location  locationA    startPoint setLatitude 17 372102   startPoint setLongitude 78 484196    Location endPoint new Location  locationA    endPoint setLatitude 17 375775   endPoint setLongitude 78 469218    double distance startPoint distanceTo endPoint     here  distance  is our required result in Meters  I hope it will work for android

If you have two Location Objects Location loc1 and Location loc2 you do  float distance   loc1 distanceTo loc2     If you have longitude and latitude values you use the static distanceBetween   function      float   results   new float 1       Location distanceBetween startLatitude  startLongitude      endLatitude  endLongitude  results       float distance   results 0
