Android Google map will get shortest distance between 5 locations from current location?

I want to find the shortest path / route between several available locations. those. suppose I have five locations A,B,C,D and E

, I want to find the nearest location (using route distance not normal distance) .

I am currently making 5 urls and calling Google Direction API

to get the result and compare. But this is a long and laborious process. Is there any alternative?

I also thought about using the distanceTo()

and methods distanceBetween()

, but I think it doesn't show the distance to the route.

Any suggestions please ....
Thanks
