Calculate bearing between two locations (lat, long)

I know this question is old, but here is an easier solution:

float bearing = loc1.bearingTo(loc2);

Calculate bearing

//Source
JSONObject source = step.getJSONObject("start_location");
double lat1 = Double.parseDouble(source.getString("lat"));
double lng1 = Double.parseDouble(source.getString("lng"));

// destination
JSONObject destination = step.getJSONObject("end_location");
double lat2 = Double.parseDouble(destination.getString("lat"));
double lng2 = Double.parseDouble(destination.getString("lng"));

double dLon = (lng2-lng1);
double y = Math.sin(dLon) * Math.cos(lat2);
double x = Math.cos(lat1)*Math.sin(lat2) - Math.sin(lat1)*Math.cos(lat2)*Math.cos(dLon);
double brng = Math.toDegrees((Math.atan2(y, x)));
brng = (360 - ((brng + 360) % 360));

Convert Degrees into Radians

Radians = Degrees * PI / 180

Convert Radians into Degrees

Degrees = Radians * 180 / PI

Try this for accurate result:

private static double degreeToRadians(double latLong) {
    return (Math.PI * latLong / 180.0);
}

private static double radiansToDegree(double latLong) {
    return (latLong * 180.0 / Math.PI);
}

public static double getBearing() {

//Source
JSONObject source = step.getJSONObject("start_location");
double lat1 = Double.parseDouble(source.getString("lat"));
double lng1 = Double.parseDouble(source.getString("lng"));

// destination
JSONObject destination = step.getJSONObject("end_location");
double lat2 = Double.parseDouble(destination.getString("lat"));
double lng2 = Double.parseDouble(destination.getString("lng"));

    double fLat = degreeToRadians(lat1);
    double fLong = degreeToRadians(lng1);
    double tLat = degreeToRadians(lat2);
    double tLong = degreeToRadians(lng2);

    double dLon = (tLong - fLong);

    double degree = radiansToDegree(Math.atan2(sin(dLon) * cos(tLat),
            cos(fLat) * sin(tLat) - sin(fLat) * cos(tLat) * cos(dLon)));

    if (degree >= 0) {
        return degree;
    } else {
        return 360 + degree;
    }
}
