Question

I can open google maps from my application and have a pointer over the location i am pointing to.

Instead i wanted to open google maps application from my application—- as is when user clicks on an address google maps application opens up with that particular point.

for that i used

startActivity(new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,  Uri.parse("geo:lat,lng?q=lat,lng")));

Here lat=34.456373 and lng=-45.464748

Google maps application is opening but that particular location is not coming up instead my present location is coming up.How to rectify that?

Answer 1

 String geoCode = "geo:0,0?q=" + PLACE_LATITUDE + ","+ PLACE_LONGITUDE + "(" + PLACE_NAME + ")";
 Intent sendLocationToMap = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
 Uri.parse(geoCode));
 startActivity(sendLocationToMap);
