I am creating an app that has a features that needs to find supermarkets that are in a 5km range from the user.
I thought that using longitude and latitude would be a good idea (I should store those two values as atributes on a supermarket table and I'd be ready to go).
Once I created my table and inserted it's values, I went to look for a solution on how could I get those supermarkets from my database. What I had in mind would be a select with a not so complex WHERE clause that would solve all my problems. Instead, I found a bunch of different ways of doing it:
2) Create extra coluns on your table
4) Find out how to convert latitude/longitude to kilometers and use Pythagorean Theorem (for ranges that are not so wide)
The three problems are that any solution is made on the database (with a where clause), I have no idea which one has more performance or is better in any aspect and it's not like I'm getting how to use those exemples. So... What should I use remembering that I have and SQLite database and android?
Thanks :)
