I have an arrayList of markers and I want to find the closest marker to my current location. I had no idea how to find that marker so I searched and found same problem in here.
Google Maps Api v3 - find nearest markers
then I tried to convert those code to java but it doesn't work now.
closest
doesn't change and always it is -1.
Is there any better solution for this problem or I can make the following code usable?
public void findNearMarker(){
double pi = Math.PI;
int R = 6371; //equatorial radius
double[] distances = new double[2];
double d = 0;
int i;
int closest = -1;
for ( i = 0; i == markerArrayList.size(); i++){
double lat2 = markerArrayList.get(i).getPosition().latitude;
double lon2 = markerArrayList.get(i).getPosition().longitude;
double chLat = lat2 - currentLocation.getLatitude();
double chLon = lon2 - currentLocation.getLongitude();
double dLat = chLat*(pi/180);
double dLon = chLon*(pi/180);
double rLat1 = currentLocation.getLatitude()*(pi/180);
double rLat2 = lat2 * (pi/180);
double a = Math.sin(dLat/2) * Math.sin(dLat/2) + Math.sin(dLon/2)
* Math.sin(dLon /2) * Math.cos(rLat1) * Math.cos(rLat2);
double c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));
d = R * c;
distances[i] = d;
if (closest == -1 || d< distances[closest]){
closest = i;
}
}
}
first you need to import the location class of the android sdk
import android.location.Location;
ArrayList<Marker> markers = new ArrayList<>();
markers = sortListbyDistance(markers, currentLocation.getLocation());
public static ArrayList<Marker> sortListbyDistance(ArrayList<Marker> markers, final LatLng location){
Collections.sort(markers, new Comparator<Marker>() {
@Override
public int compare(Marker marker2, Marker marker1) {
//
if(getDistanceBetweenPoints(marker1.getLocation(),location)>getDistanceBetweenPoints(marker2.getLocation(),location)){
return -1;
} else {
return 1;
}
}
});
return markers;
}
public static float getDistanceBetweenPoints(double firstLatitude, double firstLongitude, double secondLatitude, double secondLongitude) {
float[] results = new float[1];
Location.distanceBetween(firstLatitude, firstLongitude, secondLatitude, secondLongitude, results);
return results[0];
}
and to get the nearest marker just get first item in markers, cheers :)
If you follow Comparing two locations using their Longitude and Latitude
/** calculates the distance between two locations in MILES */
private double distance(double lat1, double lng1, double lat2, double lng2) {
double earthRadius = 3958.75; // in miles, change to 6371 for kilometer output
double dLat = Math.toRadians(lat2-lat1);
double dLng = Math.toRadians(lng2-lng1);
double sindLat = Math.sin(dLat / 2);
double sindLng = Math.sin(dLng / 2);
double a = Math.pow(sindLat, 2) + Math.pow(sindLng, 2)
* Math.cos(Math.toRadians(lat1)) * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(lat2));
double c = 2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1-a));
double dist = earthRadius * c;
return dist; // output distance, in MILES
}
loop through your list with this function and get the lowest return value.
You can also use the Maps API
Location locationA = new Location("point A");
locationA.setLatitude(latA);
locationA.setLongitude(lngA);
Location locationB = new Location("point B");
locationB.setLatitude(latB);
locationB.setLongitude(lngB);
float distance = locationA.distanceTo(locationB);
