How can I get the distance between two point by latlng?

Question

I want to get the distance from A to B by latlng.When i run my app with the following code,it return a wrong result. Fx i tryed A( 31.172740,115.0081630) ,then B（30.6055980,114.3603140),the result is about 3111km.but the right distance is about 134km. My code is:

    class btnListener implements OnClickListener{

    public void onClick(View v) {
         lat_a=lat_A.getText().toString();
         lng_a=lng_A.getText().toString();
         lat_b=lat_B.getText().toString();
         lng_b=lng_B.getText().toString();
         double a1,n1,a2,n2;
         a1=30.6055980;
         a2=Double.parseDouble(lat_b);
         n2=Double.parseDouble(lng_b);
         double R=6371;
         double D=Math.acos(Math.sin(a1)*Math.sin(a2)+Math.cos(a1)*Math.cos(a2)*Math.cos(n2-n1));
         Toast.makeText(getApplication(), "the distance is"+String.valueOf(D*R)+"km from A to B", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

}

Try below code.

public float distance (float lat_a, float lng_a, float lat_b, float lng_b ) 
{
    double earthRadius = 3958.75;
    double latDiff = Math.toRadians(lat_b-lat_a);
    double lngDiff = Math.toRadians(lng_b-lng_a);
    double a = Math.sin(latDiff /2) * Math.sin(latDiff /2) +
    Math.cos(Math.toRadians(lat_a)) * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(lat_b)) *
    Math.sin(lngDiff /2) * Math.sin(lngDiff /2);
    double c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));
    double distance = earthRadius * c;

    int meterConversion = 1609;

    return new Float(distance * meterConversion).floatValue();
}
