android - how to open kml file in android

Question

I got a kml file stored in my sdcard.I want to open it through the google map in my app, so i used the below code but i am getting error saying "android illegalstateexception could not execute method of the activity"

I dont want to draw map and all just i want to open a kml file which is already stored in my sdcard and show it.

When i google it i got lot of items related to drawing map based on the datas,this i dont want.

My code :

public void showmap(View v){

    File file = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(), "10.kml");
    Intent map_intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    map_intent.setClassName("com.google.earth", "com.google.earth.EarthActivity");
    map_intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml");
    startActivity(map_intent);
}

Answer 1

Check the AndroidManifest.xml FILE related permission and make sure that File Path that you are trying to open (10.kml). Other than this everything is fine in your code.
