Unable to find the distance between current location and destination location - firebase

Question

I am stuck in handling future and getting distance on extracting address from Firebase and displaying on the marker,
though I have managed to write some code for getting the current user location, calculating the distance, and converting the address to LatLng but still I am facing difficulties.
Below I have attached my code and also highlighted where I want to calculate the distance( Inside widget setMapPins() )
I have stored the addresses inside collection shops and document named Address in firebase
Please help me to calculate the distance inside Streambuilder and display it on the marker. Thanks in Advance.
This is the link to my complete map.dart file

Answer 1

To reduce the complexity of your code,you can use this function to calculate the distance between 2 points.(..in GeoLocator package)
double distanceInMeters =Geolocator().distanceBetween(lat1, long1,lat2,long2);
UPDATE 2:-
make a function to do the async task,
var distInMeters;
getDist({var latt,var longg}) async{
distanceInMeters = await Geolocator().distanceBetween(latt, longg,lat2,long2);// lat2 and long2 are global variables with current user's location
}
In your Streambuilder,
StreamBuilder(
stream: Firestore.instance.collection('shops').snapshots(),
builder: (BuildContext context,
AsyncSnapshot<List<DocumentSnapshot>> snapshots) {
if (snapshots.connectionState == ConnectionState.active &&
snapshots.hasData) {
print(snapshots.data);
return ListView.builder(
itemCount: snapshots.data.length,
itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, int index) {
DocumentSnapshot doc = snapshots.data[index];
Map yourdata= doc.data;
/*
Here, you can get latitude and longitude from firebase, using keys,based on your document structure.
Example, var lat=yourdata["latitude"];
var long=yourdata["longitude"];
Now, you can calculate the distance,
getDist(latt:lat,longg:long);
here lat2 and long2 are current user's latitude and longitude.
print(distInMeters);
