Calculation of Distance between user location & Restaurant location via json (url)

Question

I have latitude & longitude which are coming from a URL (JSON). I have to calculate the distance from the users location (needs to be determined first) to a particular latitude & longitude basis (which is coming from a URL) and show the distance between those.

The JSON data can be seen on the attached image:

URL for fetching JSON data for (latitude & longitude of restaurant): https://comida-95724.herokuapp.com/api/v1/restaurants/get_featured_restaurants

I am getting the results now like below image. In this i have to show the distance between the user and the particular restaurant:

Example: Distance of user from Yuuka -The St. Regis Mumbai =1.9 km away

How can I show this?

Could anyone please help me?

Answer 1

If you know your current location, you can calculate distance between two Location objects in Android as follow:

Location myLocation = new Location("my loc");

myLocation.setLatitude(myLat);
myLocation.setLongitude(myLng);

Location locFromJson = new Location("loc from json");

locFromJson.setLatitude(latFromJson);
locFromJson.setLongitude(lngFromJson);

float distance = myLocation.distanceTo(locFromJson);

Here, distance is in meters. Therefore, distance/1000 will be in kilometers.
