获取两个位置 android 谷歌地图之间的距离并画线

Question

I have a app that opens the map and zooms on my location with a marker and then if i longClick on any place it saves that location in database everything works fine but one thing i cannot manage is draw a line of path between two location markers.

these are three global variables

 Location myLocation;
 LatLng onmaplongclicklastlatlng;
 private GoogleMap mMap;

mylocation is assigned by LocationListener and onmaplongclicklastlatlng is assigned when i long click on any place on the map.

placing the marker on both location is done i already have the two points i want to draw the line on.

i just need to draw a line between those two locations (my current location periodically updated in the myLocation variable)

and onmaplongclicklastlatlng changed whenever i long click on the map.

the whole code is done and i have a button that i want to use to draw the line since i can access the two location variables from this button method, Other code need not be changed.

public void getLine(View view) {

    // need to draw a line here from user gps posiution to the marker location    
}

i have tried many tutorials but they do not work for some reason, any help would be really appreciated.

oh and last but not least

onmaplongclicklastlatlng

is a LatLng and

myLocation

is a Location

but they can be interchanged to fit the purpose

ex. Location maplocation = new Location(onmaplongclicklastlatlng
.latitude, onmaplongclicklastlatlng.longitude);

and

Latlng myLatLng = new LatLng(myLocation.getLatitude(), myLocation.getLongitude());

As i said any help would be really appreciated. And let me know if anything else needed i will edit the question then.

Answer 1

To calculate accurate distance between two loaction you have to use Google Map Distance Matrix API . Construct your url like below.

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/distancematrix/json?" +"origin=" + origin.latitude + "," + origin.longitude+ "&" +"destination=" + dest.latitude + "," + dest.longitude +"&sensor=false&units=metric&mode=driving" + "&" + key=YOUR_API_KEY

And to draw line between two location you have to first use the Google Map Direction Api , construct your url like below

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?" +"origin=" + origin.latitude + "," + origin.longitude+ "&" +"destination=" + dest.latitude + "," + dest.longitude +"&sensor=false&units=metric&mode=driving" + "&" + key=YOUR_API_KEY

above api call return a list of latlng add the list into polylines

 Polyline polyline1 = googleMap.addPolyline(new PolylineOptions()
                .clickable(true)
                .addAll(latlngList));

hope it helps.

To add a polyline -

 val polyline1 = map?.addPolyline(
            PolylineOptions().clickable(true)
                .add(LatLng(23.8103, 90.4125), LatLng(4.0383, 21.7587))
                .geodesic(true) // to make the line curvw
        )
        // To add styles in the line
        stylePolyline(polyline1)

 private fun stylePolyline(polyline: Polyline?) {
        polyline?.let {
            it.color = ContextCompat.getColor(binding.mapPlaceholder.context, R.color.lineColor)
            it.pattern = mutableListOf(Dot(), Gap(5F))
            it.startCap = RoundCap()
            it.jointType = JointType.ROUND
        }
    }
