how can I know if a latitude and longitude are close to my current location using google android api?

I just want to know how to use google android api to get my current location, display the location and compare that location with others latitudes and longitudes.

Check out the android docs for everything you should need on location. So for example first you would get the current location like this 

@Override
public void onConnected(Bundle connectionHint) {
    mLastLocation = LocationServices.FusedLocationApi.getLastLocation(
            mGoogleApiClient);
    if (mLastLocation != null) {
        mLatitudeText.setText(String.valueOf(mLastLocation.getLatitude()));
        mLongitudeText.setText(String.valueOf(mLastLocation.getLongitude()));
    }
}

then you would compare that with the other location using the method distanceBetween(Location dest)

Hope this helps.
