Use This:

private String getDistanceOnRoad(double latitude, double longitude,
            double prelatitute, double prelongitude) {
        String result_in_kms = "";
        String url = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/directions/xml?origin="
                + latitude + "," + longitude + "&destination=" + prelatitute
                + "," + prelongitude + "&sensor=false&units=metric";
        String tag[] = { "text" };
        HttpResponse response = null;
        try {
            HttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
            HttpContext localContext = new BasicHttpContext();
            HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
            response = httpClient.execute(httpPost, localContext);
            InputStream is = response.getEntity().getContent();
            DocumentBuilder builder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance()
                    .newDocumentBuilder();
            Document doc = builder.parse(is);
            if (doc != null) {
                NodeList nl;
                ArrayList args = new ArrayList();
                for (String s : tag) {
                    nl = doc.getElementsByTagName(s);
                    if (nl.getLength() > 0) {
                        Node node = nl.item(nl.getLength() - 1);
                        args.add(node.getTextContent());
                    } else {
                        args.add(" - ");
                    }
                }
                result_in_kms = String.format("%s", args.get(0));
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return result_in_kms;
    }
