Question

I’m wondering if i could start the maps app in “get directions” mode with coordinates x and y as destination point and the current position as start point.

Any ideas how could i do that ?

Answer 1

Yeah there is an undocumented, unofficial way to do it

Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, 
Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=" + source.getLatitude() + "," + source.getLongitude() + "&daddr=" + getLatitude() + "," + dest.getLongitude()));
intent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
startActivity(intent);
