Getting results of nearby places from the current Location using Google Maps API

Here is my code:
public class MapsActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements OnMapReadyCallback,
LocationListener,
GoogleApiClient.ConnectionCallbacks, GoogleApiClient.OnConnectionFailedListener {
GoogleMap mMap;

Stop sending GPS coordinates Android

My google maps app is sending my coordinates every 5 seconds after I click the button (mapbttn). I want to make another button to stop sending these coordinates. How can I do that?
Here is my .java file:
private GoogleMap mMap;
Button mapbttn;
private LocationManager locationManager;
private LocationListener locationListener;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_maps);
SupportMapFragment mapFragment =
(SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.map);
mapFragment.getMapAsync(this);
mapbttn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.setRangeButton);
mapbttn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
btncoord();
}
});
locationManager = (LocationManager) this.getSystemService(Context.LOCATION_SERVICE);
locationListener = new LocationListener() {
#Override
public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "" + location.getLatitude() + '\n' + location.getLongitude(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
#Override
public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle) {
}
#Override
public void onProviderEnabled(String s) {
}
public void onProviderDisabled(String s) {
Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_LOCATION_SOURCE_SETTINGS);
startActivity(intent);
}
};
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.M) {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, android.Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
requestPermissions(new String[]{
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION,
Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION,
Manifest.permission.INTERNET
}, 10);
return;
} else {
btncoord();
}
}
Bundle save = getIntent().getExtras();
if (save != null) color = save.getString("marker color");
}
public void onRequestPermissionsResult(int requestCode, String[] permissions, int[] grantResults) {
switch (requestCode) {
case 10:
if (grantResults.length > 0 && grantResults[0] == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
btncoord();
return;
}
}
public void btncoord() {
if (ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED && ActivityCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
return;
}
locationManager.requestLocationUpdates(locationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 5000, 0, locationListener);
}

Simply un-register your location manager like
locationManager.removeUpdates(ActivityName.this);
docs

Try this
public void stopUpdates(){
locationManager.removeUpdates(context);
}
call stopUpdate() method on stop button.

How to draw the direction from current location to destination?

There are multiple ways of doing that..
Using browser, pass source and destination
public void showDirections(View view) {
final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?" + "saddr="+ latitude + "," + longitude + "&daddr=" + latitude + "," + longitude));
intent.setClassName("com.google.android.apps.maps","com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity");
startActivity(intent);
}
Using Projection inside map See How to draw straight path between two points. Its not perfect solution for your issue, But you will get idea.
