geolocator 6.0.0+1 distanceBetween() not working in flutter

Question

i hope everyone is safe i am using flutter,and i want to calculate distance between two locations so i have installed geolocator 6.0.0+1 from pub.dev here, with that i can find the location of user but i cannot use the inbuilt method called ** distanceBetween()** which is used to calculate the distance between two latitudes and longitudes, it shows me a error whis says **The method 'distanceBetween' isn't defined for the type '_RegisterState'. ** i have used the method as shown in the documentation here

here is my code:

import 'dart:html;

}

`it would be appreciable if someone point the mistake i did. thank you in advance.

Solution 1

[Solved]

Distance Between

GeolocatorPlatform.distanceBetween(startLatitude, startLongitude, endLatitude, endLongitude);

For Bearing distance

GeolocatorPlatform.bearingBetween(startLatitude, startLongitude, endLatitude, endLongitude);

At the time of writing this answer official documentation is not correct. I tried both other answers above and not worked if that's the case with you try these code it worked for me and hopefully this will fix your problem too. [ version : geolocator 6.0.0+1 ]

git https://github.com/Baseflow/flutter-geolocator/issues/496#issuecomment-683861804

Solution 2

Looking at the GitHub page and source for the package, the documentation on pub.dev appears to be out of date. The correct usage seems to be:

double distanceInMeters = GeolocatorPlatform.instance.distanceBetween(
  52.2165157, 
  6.9437819, 
  52.3546274, 
  4.8285838,
);
