[android-developers] How to implement this with location.distanceTo()?

Hi,

I trying to do this but doesn't seems to get it right.
I have runtime error - "NumericFormatError", is it because "1.35678"
is not Long but Float.
Then .setLatitute(Long) is long... how to implement this correctly?

// extract value from XML (so it's string value)
String Lat = pullParser.getAttributeValue(null, "lat");
String Lon = pullParser.getAttributeValue(null, "lon");

// converting this string value to long to call the distanceTo()
function
long seedLat = Long.parseLong(String.valueOf(Lat));
long seedLon = Long.parseLong(String.valueOf(Lon));
m.setLatitude(seedLat);
m.setLongitude(seedLon);

float distanceInMeters = location.distanceTo(m);

Regards,
CJ
