I am loading a webView in my app that displays some buttons, each button starts a route that is generated using google maps.
The problem is that when I click "Navigate in app" nothing happens.
I was having the URL_UNKOWN_SCHEME
error but solved it by adding and @override
My code looks like this:
package com.example.listarehtgps2;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.KeyEvent;
import android.view.Window;
import android.webkit.WebResourceRequest;
import android.webkit.WebSettings;
import android.webkit.WebView;
import android.webkit.WebViewClient;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
WebView web;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
web = findViewById(R.id.webview);
WebSettings webSettings = web.getSettings();
webSettings.setJavaScriptEnabled(true);
web.loadUrl("webViewURL replaced for privacy reasons");
web.setWebViewClient(new WebViewClient() {
@Override
public boolean shouldOverrideUrlLoading(WebView view, String url) {
// When user clicks a hyperlink, load in the existing WebView
if(url.contains("intent:")) {
Uri gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse(url);
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
startActivity(mapIntent);
return true;
}
view.loadUrl(url);
return true;
}
}
);
}
}
I can not find any solution to open the link in the google maps
app. I managed to solve the UNKWN_URL_SCHEME but this is frustrating now.
Thanks in advance!
The URL_UNKOWN_SCHEME is because it's not recognising the scheme part of your URI (the bit up to :), are your URIs simply starting with "intent:" ?
To open a map at a location, try switching to the geo scheme, so a URI something like "geo:0.01,0.01?q=London" (along ofc with changing your url.contains check to look for that). You could also insert a mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps") before the call to startActivity(mapIntent) if you want Google maps to take priority over any other map application the user may have installed.
If however you want navigation, use a URI starting with google.navigation such as "google.navigation:London" or "google.navigation:0.01,0.01", equally for street view you can use a URI starting with google.streetview
