Location Manager

Can we use android location https://developer.android.com/reference/android/location/Location.html

inside the java standalone application. I have to find the distance between two lat/lng pairs. Now i am using 

public double Haversine(double lat1,double lon1,double lat2,double lon2)
    {
        double R = 6372.8; // Earth Radius in Kilometers

        double dLat = Deg2Rad(lat2 - lat1);
        double dLon = Deg2Rad(lon2 - lon1);

        double a = (Math.sin(dLat / 2) * Math.sin(dLat / 2) +
                Math.cos(Deg2Rad(lat1)) * Math.cos(Deg2Rad(lat2)) *
                Math.sin(dLon / 2) * Math.sin(dLon / 2));
        double c = (2 * Math.atan2(Math.sqrt(a), Math.sqrt(1 - a)));
        double d = R * c;
        // Return Distance in Kilometers
        return d;
    }
    public double  Deg2Rad( double deg) {
 public double  Deg2Rad( double deg) {
        return  (deg * Math.PI / 180);
    }

But the above code gives the air distance. But i need roadway distance. Please help me out.. thanks in advance

You can do this using Directions API of Google Maps

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/directions/

Good example is : http://javapapers.com/android/draw-path-on-google-maps-android-api/

This is example of Distance API of Google Map, but you can refer to it and use Directions API in same way

You can use Google direction API for this. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/directions/
