Calculate Time and distance and draw a path between two draggable markers in Google maps v2

Need your help!!..I am building an android app using Google API V2. I have managed to place two markers on the map and also get there location. What I mainly want to do now is to calculate their distance and time like we do in the Google maps and draw a path between them. How can I achieve that?
a-) Can I do it without using JSON? I just know JAVA not java script so help please.
b-) Who ever answer it, Please if you can, Elaborate the steps taken in the code comments?

calculating the distance ::
public float distance (LatLng point1, LatLng point2 )
{
double earthRadius = 3958.75;
double latDiff = Math.toRadians(point2.latitude - point1.latitude);
double lngDiff = Math.toRadians(point2.longitude - point2.longitude);
double a = Math.sin(latDiff /2) * Math.sin(latDiff /2) +
Math.cos(Math.toRadians(point1.latitude)) * Math.cos(Math.toRadians(point2.latitude)) *
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).floatValue();
}
and to draw a line add the points to a list then use the polyline function .

Ok Firstly thanks all you guys for being a support. I finally got the solution to my problem with blessings and a bit of my own RND..
http://wptrafficanalyzer.in/blog/route-between-two-locations-with-waypoints-in-google-map-android-api-v2/
This greatly solved the Direction Parsing issue.
And i molded my code and added the methods from the Maps activity and JSON class.
Which solved the problem.
Happy :)
Thanks for taking the time..
+Any one having the same issue can post there problem in the comments i would try to answer it. Through what ever small i have learnt from solving this problem..

You can use code here. In this code distanceText gives distance between two points and timeText gives travelling time.

How to track the distance when user running/ walking

Im currently doing an apps that can track running distance.
My idea is when i click start, i will record the position that i start running, then when i click stop, it will record the position that i end my running. Then calculate the distance between this 2 point.
I don't know why my distance result keep showing me 0km no matter how i run. Please help me see if gt any problems~

I am not getting what is the problem

You are not initializing and executing the LoadServerAsync anywhere.
If you want to send coordinates every time you update the text views, you should do this:
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
lat = (int) (location.getLatitude());
lng = (int) (location.getLongitude());
latituteField.setText(String.valueOf(lat));
longitudeField.setText(String.valueOf(lng));
LoadServerASYNC task = new LoadServerASYNC();
task.execute();
}
And you should call postData method inside doInBackground();

Data not changed while inserting data from android to mysql database

I have a problem in inserting data (latitude and longitude) to mysql. when I first run the app, the lat and long are inserted but when I updated the location (lat and long) and insert the data again, only the longitude changes, and the latitude stays the same value as the previous data inserted. I'm totally confused why it doesnt work. I'd be very glad if anyone could help me with this.

This is the php file :
<?php
mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("php");
$longitude = $_GET['longitude'];
$latitude = $_GET['latitude'];
if($latitude && $longitude){
$string= "insert into table (latitude, longitude)values('".$latitude."','".$longitude."')";
mysql_query($string);
}
mysql_close();
?>

just change two lines and try it
in android
u have written
if (latestLocation.getLatitude() != lat && latestLocation.getLongitude() != longi )
instead that write
if (latestLocation.getLatitude() != lat || latestLocation.getLongitude() != longi )
AND in php
u have putten
$string= "insert into table (latitude, longitude)values('".$latitude."','".$longitude."')";
instead put
$string= "insert into table (latitude, longitude) values('".$latitude."','".$longitude."')";
try it, i think it'll work

You are updating url on onCreate() method and please check Activity life cycle onCreate() method will call first time when activity is created or activity is re created.
I will suggest you to make a call back mechanism to fetch location data whenever you are creating url for server request.

which has an Inner class that implements location listener on it. So far, it works. It listen the location with no problem. However, when I exit my apps, it doesn't completely stop the listen the location. As you see from this code :
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location newLocation) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
myLat = newLocation.getLatitude();
myLon = newLocation.getLongitude();
getLocationName(myLat, myLon);
Toast.makeText(context,
"Lokasi terupdate\nLat: " + myLat + "\nLon: " + myLon,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
while the location is updated, the toast will be shown, and it still appear when the location is updated. Even when I've closed the application.
How to stop the location listener completely in my case.
This one helped me to stop the updat :

You may call removeUpdates on your LocationManager.
public void removeUpdates (PendingIntent intent)
Removes any current registration for location updates of the current
activity with the given PendingIntent. Following this call, updates
will no longer occur for this intent.
Parameters:
intent {#link PendingIntent} object that no longer needs location
updates
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException if intent is null
See here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/LocationManager.html#removeUpdates(android.app.PendingIntent)
Updated:
In this case, you may change this line:
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 1000, 0,
new MyLocationListener());
to:
MyLocationListener myLL = new MyLocationListener();
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(provider, 1000, 0,
myLL);
When you want to remove your listener call as below:
locationManager.removeUpdates(myLL);
