Dear all, I am working on a small app that can calculate the distance between actual location and a predefined location.
I am using the commands location.getLatitude and location.getLongitude to get the GPS position in Degrees Decimal Degrees. I define a fixed location as double like double Fixed_Lat = 55.80000; double Fixed_Long = 12.80000; >From here I would like to calculate the distance by first calculate the Distance_square (works fine) double Distance_square = (Fixed_Lat - location.getLatitude())*(Fixed_Lat - location.getLatitude()) + (Fixed_Long - location.getLongitude())*(Fixed_Long - location.getLongitude()); Hereafter I would like to calculate the Distance by taking the squareroot of Distance_square Unfortunately it seems like that square root requires a float instead of a double. I have tried to use float Distance = FloatMath.sqrt(double Distance_square); but without any success Please, let me know how I can solve this problem. I believe that there must be easier way to calculate this distance, but I have found any. I am looking forward to your help. best Regards ckloch -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group. NEW!
