Question

i am developing android app to get direction between 2 location, as below

Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW;
Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=12.84281852,80.22529753&daddr=13.00355419,80.200881958"));
startActivity(intent);

Running this application, it is prompting me to choose one among 1) Browser 2) Map
How to open it in map by default in coding??

Answer 1

I think if you call setPackage() with 'com.google.android.apps.maps' it should launch Google maps.

This worked fine for me:

Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
                        Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=20.344,34.34&daddr=20.5666,45.345"));
intent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
startActivity(intent);
