How to get miles/km and minute from current location to latitude destination in google Maps API V2

Question

How to get miles/km and minus from current location to latitude/longitude destination in google maps API V2. If i get this value I want to store in textview.

My code is:

import android.os.Bundle;

import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockActivity;

import com.google.android.gms.maps.CameraUpdateFactory;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.MapFragment;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.LatLng;
import com.google.android.gms.maps.model.MarkerOptions;

public class DetailMapActivity extends SherlockActivity {
    private GoogleMap map;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main_detail_map);

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

        LatLng LOC_DESTINATION = new LatLng(-6.33438, 106.74316);

        map.addMarker(new MarkerOptions().position(LOC_DESTINATION)
                .title("Destination Title").snippet("Destination Description"));

        map.moveCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngZoom(LOC_DESTINATION, 40));

        map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.zoomTo(10), 2000, null);

        String miles = "what this code?";
        Log.d("HaichalMap", miles);
    }
}

Thanks for answer.

Do you want to get distance between two locations ? – moDev Jan 21 '13 at 20:19 — moDev, Jan 21 '13 at 20:19

Try this using Location Class

Location locationA = new Location("Location A");
locationA.setLatitude(lat_a);
locationA.setLongitude(lon_a);

Location locationB = new Location("Location B");
locationB.setLatitude(lat_b);
locationB.setLongitude(lon_b);

int metres = Math.round(locationA.distanceTo(locationB)); // Returns in Metres

Convert metres into desired output

Google Maps does not offer directions. You need to look at the Google Directions API

You would need to calculate the distance depending upon your old and new co-ordinates (in latitudes and longitudes). This will give you back the result in meters. You then need to convert it into miles/km. Any how THIS thread maybe of help to you as far as the calculation of distance from initial and final co-ordinates are concerned. Hope that answered your question.
