I'm designing one application in which I want to show specific location on Map. I'm passing String
of address which is already placed on Google Map
. Following is my Intent
code..
String url = "http://maps.google.com/maps?daddr="+address;
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(intent);
But it gives me Google Map for getting direction. I know why that so, because I used daddr
in url
but I don't know what to use for specific location..Please tell me what to use there..
I have not tested this but you could try :
First method:
String uri = String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "geo:%f,%f", latitude, longitude);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
context.startActivity(intent);
EDIT: This might not work with Google maps 7,0
hence you could change the uri to :
Second option:
String geoUri = "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:" + lat + "," + lng + " (" + mTitle + ")";
where mTitle
is the name of the location.
Third option:
geo:0,0?q=my+street+address
Fourth option:
String map = "http://maps.google.co.in/maps?q=" + yourAddress;
Hope that works and helps :D..
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=" + address + "&sensor=false
String strUri = "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:" + lat + "," + lng + " (" + "Label which you want" + ")";
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(strUri));
intent.setClassName("com.google.android.apps.maps", "com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity");
startActivity(intent);
Thank you.
The latest version of map provides better solution. If you wish show an address on map use below code.
Uri mapUri = Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=" + Uri.encode(address));
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, mapUri);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
startActivity(mapIntent);
If you want to display using latitude and longitude values, use below method.
Uri mapUri = Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=lat,lng(label)");
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, mapUri);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
startActivity(mapIntent);
Lat and lng being the latitude and longitude you wish to display, the label here is optional.
You should use something like this
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"));
startActivity(intent);
And to drop a pin
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("geo:" + AppointmentDetailLayout.docLatitude
+ "," + AppointmentDetailLayout.docLongitude
+ "?q=" + AppointmentDetailLayout.docLatitude
+ "," + AppointmentDetailLayout.docLongitude
+ "(" + label + ")"));
intent.setComponent(new ComponentName(
"com.google.android.apps.maps",
"com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity"));
context.startActivity(intent);
} catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
try {
context.startActivity(new Intent(
Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps")));
} catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException anfe) {
context.startActivity(new Intent(
Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.maps")));
}
e.printStackTrace();
}
This will work like a charm. Make sure to check for existence for Google Maps, so this can work universally across all non Google devices also. It will open in a browser in such cases.
Also, remember, don't have www in the URL. Else this will not work.
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:" + latitude + "," + longitude));
i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); // Only if initiating from a Broadcast Receiver
String mapsPackageName = "com.google.android.apps.maps";
if (isPackageExisted(context, mapsPackageName)) {
i.setClassName(mapsPackageName, "com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity");
i.setPackage(mapsPackageName);
}
context.startActivity(i);
private static boolean isPackageExisted(Context context, String targetPackage){
PackageManager pm=context.getPackageManager();
try {
PackageInfo info=pm.getPackageInfo(targetPackage,PackageManager.GET_META_DATA);
} catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
As of 2020 you can also consider using Google Maps URLs , the API designed by Google in order to create universal cross-platform links. You can open Google maps on web, Android or iOS using the same URL string in form:
https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1¶meters
In case when you need show certain location you can use an URL like
https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=36.26577,-92.54324
The code snippet is
String url = "https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query="+address;
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse(url));
startActivity(intent);
I hope this helps!
Uri gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse("geo:37.7749,-122.4194");
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
if (mapIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivity(mapIntent);
}
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=" + src_lat+ "," + src_lng + "&daddr=" + des_lat + "," + des_lng));
startActivity(intent);
}catch (ActivityNotFoundException ane){
Toast.makeText(activity, "Please Install Google Maps ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}catch (Exception ex){
ex.getMessage();
}
}
});
This helper method using uriBuilder for cleaner code and handle condition if there is no activity on device that can open map
public static boolean openMap(Context context, String address) {
Uri.Builder uriBuilder = new Uri.Builder()
.scheme("geo")
.path("0,0")
.appendQueryParameter("q", address);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uriBuilder.build());
if (intent.resolveActivity(context.getPackageManager()) != null) {
context.startActivity(intent);
return true;
}
return false;
}
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=" + address)); startActivity(intent);
For the ones, who are looking for opening the "Maps" app for a particular location(by passing lat and long) and do not want that lat/long co-ordinates to be shown in Maps search bar after redirection(Opening Maps app). Instead wish to show some label or place name , you can refer to the code below,
private void openMapView(String latitude , String longitude , String locationName){
Uri gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse("geo:"+latitude+","+longitude+"?q="+locationName);
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
if (mapIntent.resolveActivity(context.getPackageManager()) != null) {
context.startActivity(mapIntent);
}
}
Note : "locationName" in the method above, represents the name you wish to display inside the Maps search bar.
To show location and disply show directions button inside google Maps use this code snippet:
String geoUri = "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:" + latitude + "," + longitude + " (" + locationName + ")";
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(geoUri));
if (mapIntent.resolveActivity(context.getPackageManager()) != null) {
context.startActivity(mapIntent);
I find this solution in google documentation so, it will work fine.
Double latitude = 37.7749,longitude = -122.4192;
String label = "Your location desired Aryan";
Uri gmmIntentUri =
Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q="+latitude+","+longitude+"("+label+")");
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
context.startActivity(mapIntent);
If you have any doubt just comment it. I am not checking maps package because on every android device we have maps. If you want you check it easily. If u found it helpful please upvote.
String uri = String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:%f,%f", recentBean.getLatitude(), recentBean.getLongitude());
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
mContext.startActivity(intent);
https://www.google.com/maps/dir//37.4219983,-122.084
String location = " https://www.google.com/maps/dir// " + latitude + "," + longitude; try { SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault(); // using android SmsManager sms.sendTextMessage(number, null, message + location, null, null); // adding number and text Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Message Sent", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); } catch (Exception e) { Toast.makeText(this, "Sms not send, please check phone number/network", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show(); e.printStackTrace(); }
