Maps Intents don't show specified location

Question

I have a problem with my application. I want to open Google Maps with defined in code location, so I set the data to the intent, but maps open on my location all the time (not the specified in code one).

Here is the code:

String addressString = "1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, CA";

Uri locationUri = new Uri.Builder();
        .scheme("geo")
        .path("0,0")
        .query(addressString);
        .build();

Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, locationUri);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");

if(intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null)
    startActivity(mapIntent);

Does anyone know how to handle this situation? I tried on my phone and on the virtual device and it's not working on both.

Answer 1

Use it this way to open with latitude and longitude:

double lat = YOUR_LATITUDE;
double lng = YOUR_LONGITUDE;
String placeLabel = YOUR_PLACE_LABEL;
String uri = String.format(Locale.ENGLISH, "geo:%f,%f?q=%f,%f(%s)", lat, lng, lat, lng, placeLabel);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
startActivity(intent);

If you want to open the map with an address, replace de uri with:

geo:0,0?q=my+street+address

Answer 2

Change query(addressString) to appendQueryParameter("q", addressString) and you will rich what you want:

Uri locationUri = new Uri.Builder()
        .scheme("geo")
        .path("0,0")
        .appendQueryParameter("q", addressString)
        .build();
