Use Location class. It has a method called distanceTo(Location loc) to calculate the distance between two Locations.
Location myLocation = new Location("LocProvider");
myLocation.setLatitude(latitude);
myLocation.setLongitude(longitude);
//Same as above, Setup friendLocation
float distance = myLocation.distanceTo(friendLocation);

repeat the logic in a loop against all your friend locations and find the shortest distance to get the friend who is close to you. – balachandarkm Dec 15 '14 at 19:18

Just iterate the set and find the shortest! – balachandarkm Dec 15 '14 at 19:25
