title: How to convert radius in meters to pixels to draw circle without using Google API?
body: <p>I need to draw a circle with radius 300 meters with center at the center of the screen. To convert the meters to pixels.</p>
  
  <p>I have searched and found </p>
  
  <pre><code>public static int metersToRadius(float meters, MapView map, double latitude) {
      return (int) (map.getProjection().metersToEquatorPixels(meters) * (1 / Math
              .cos(Math.toRadians(latitude))));
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this to be a solution. Suppose i dont have the option to include the Google MapView API ,can this solution be implemented by using getProjection() from a source other than the Google API. </p>
