I am making a map app in android, I want to get 2 locations on the map, and see the distance between them. I already got my current location as a "Location" variable. The other place however is saved as two variables : double lat,lng;
I have checked the internet and found this method that will help :
float distance = myLocation.distanceTo(temp);
The problem is that the "temp" I have is not a "Location", it is 2 different doubles.
Is there a way to convert them to Location?
PS. Code i tried but did't work :
Location temp = null;
temp.setLatitude(23.5678);
temp.setLongitude(34.456);
float distance = location.distanceTo(temp);
Problem :
Null pointer access: The variable temp can only be null at this location
You have to instantiate Location
, before accessing its members. For example
Location temp = new Location(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER);
temp.setLatitude(23.5678);
temp.setLongitude(34.456);
float distance = location.distanceTo(temp);
val distance = location.distanceTo(Location(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER).apply {
latitude = 23.5678
longitude = 34.456
})
