Android Question Calculate Distance

Tegwin · Nov 18, 2015

Hello,
I am very new to these suites of apps.. I love them .
I am looking to develop an app that calulates the distance of 2 postal codes (UK) and gives the distance. I need this to be accurate street distance rather than striaght line.

I need to develop this on both IOS And Andriod.

Any ideas on where to start would be appreciated. I am very new to programming so may need some step by step guidance

You are looking for a geolocation feature that converts an address to a map coordinate. Geolocation is available on both Android and iOS, though it probably doesn't support postal codes.

You will need to find a web service (maybe Google Places) that calculates the route distance between two points.

Have a read of this LINK

You can construct an URL to send to google and get Json or xml back. Parsers you can find in the forum.

Good luck.
