Using JSON for Lat Long on Google Maps
I am trying to get a JSON object from an API to use the Lat Long for each marker on google maps.
I can read the JSON in, as i have been able to put it in a listview, as a string, but cants seem to parse it into a double, it crashes every time.

I think I have figured out
double latitude = Double.parseDouble(dlat);
double longitude = Double.parseDouble(dlon);
Seem to cause the issue, as if i change them to be a set value, it works fine.
Any help would be appreciated, ive spent a few days on this and cant figure out why it doesn't work!
Cheers Phil.

inside your doInBackground method you recreate your dlat and dlong strings. they have nothing to do with the global dlat and dlong variables you created in the top of the code.
String dlat = dep.getString(TAG_DEP_LAT);
String dlon = dep.getString(TAG_DEP_LON);
but inside your onPostExecute you try to access the global variables you created in the beginning but it looks like you never initialized them.
double latitude = Double.parseDouble(dlat);
double longitude = Double.parseDouble(dlon);
thats why you get a nullpointer.
edit: quick fix - try replacing (within the doInBackground method)
String dlat = dep.getString(TAG_DEP_LAT);
String dlon = dep.getString(TAG_DEP_LON);
by
dlat = dep.getString(TAG_DEP_LAT);
dlon = dep.getString(TAG_DEP_LON);
