Get the distance between current location and a selected place using android.

public static double distFrom(
    double lat1, double lng1, double lat2, double lng2)
{
    double earthRadius = 3958.75;
    double dLat = Math.toRadians(lat2-lat1);
    double dLng = Math.toRadians(lng2-lng1); 
    double a = Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) +
        Math.cos(Math.toRadians(lat1)) * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(lat2)) * 
        Math.sin(dLng/2) * Math.sin(dLng/2);
    double c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a)); 
    double dist = earthRadius * c; 

    return dist; 
}

@ankitmakwana Can you tell me how to put longitude and latitude point on WebView? – Pratik Butani Apr 09 '13 at 04:55
@PratikButani you can display Using GeoPoint – Ankitkumar Makwana Apr 09 '13 at 05:00
@ankitmakwana I want to display Current Location on MapView, Help for that. – Pratik Butani Apr 09 '13 at 12:25
simle place icon using current lat and long create Geo point and show it – Ankitkumar Makwana Apr 09 '13 at 12:27

Only a few lines of code:

Location l1=new Location("One");
l1.setLatitude(location.getLatitude());
l1.setLongitude(location.getLongitude());

Location l2=new Location("Two");
l2.setLatitude(Double.parseDouble(frnd_lat));
l2.setLongitude(Double.parseDouble(frnd_longi));

float distance_bw_one_and_two=l1.distanceTo(l2);

get distance between Current location and Selected Place in android
