Check if geo location(lat,lon) inside a circular geo fence
I have a saved geo location(latitude,longitude).when a user presses a action button in app, the current location is recorded.
I want to check if the current latitude,longitude(which I have) falls in a circular geofence (who's center geo point I have ).
I don't want to create a geofence on Google map. I just want to check if a geolocation falls in a geofence.
The code I use to get current geolocation when the accuracy is less than 20 :
public class CreatePlaceActivity extends Fragment implements
OnClickListener,
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks,
GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener, LocationListener {
private Button cancelBtn, submitBtn;
public boolean geoLocationCheck = false;
private String TAG = "CreatePlaceActivity";
public CreatePlaceActivity() {
}
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
Bundle savedInstanceState) {
View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.create_place_screen,
container, false);
submitBtn = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.submit_btn_id);
submitBtn.setTypeface(typeface);
submitBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
cancelBtn = (Button) rootView.findViewById(R.id.cancel_btn_id);
cancelBtn.setOnClickListener(this);
setlocationClient();
return rootView;
}
private void setlocationClient() {
int resp = GooglePlayServicesUtil
.isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getActivity());
if (resp == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
locationclient = new GoogleApiClient.Builder(getActivity())
.addApi(LocationServices.API).addConnectionCallbacks(this)
.addOnConnectionFailedListener(this)
.build();
locationclient.connect();
} else {
GooglePalyErrorDialogIsShowing = true;
Toast.makeText(getActivity(),// CreatePlaceActivity.this,
"Google Play Service Error " + resp, Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
.show();
if (alert == null) {

Thanks!
Solution
If you know the radius of the circle and its center point, you know if any other point is inside the circle by using the following formula:
which is the distance formula.
Also, if both points are Location objects. you can use Location.distanceTo
