Answer 1

public String getDistance(final double lat1, final double lon1, final double lat2, final double lon2){
    String parsedDistance;
    String response;

    Thread thread=new Thread(new Runnable() {
      @Override
      public void run() {
        try {
          URL url = new URL("http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/directions/json?origin=" + lat1 + "," + lon1 + "&destination=" + lat2 + "," + lon2 + "&sensor=false&units=metric&mode=driving");
          final HttpURLConnection conn = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
          conn.setRequestMethod("POST");
          InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(conn.getInputStream());
          response = org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.toString(in, "UTF-8");

          JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject(response);
          JSONArray array = jsonObject.getJSONArray("routes");
          JSONObject routes = array.getJSONObject(0);
          JSONArray legs = routes.getJSONArray("legs");
          JSONObject steps = legs.getJSONObject(0);
          JSONObject distance = steps.getJSONObject("distance");
          parsedDistance=distance.getString("text");
        } catch (ProtocolException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (JSONException e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
        }
      }
    });

    thread.start();

    try {
      thread.join();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }

    return parsedDistance;
}
