I want to do the same, only it doesn't have to be google maps just the default navigation software the user has installed.

Hi guys,
you can do that (if I got you) launching an intent to Maps.
Refering to the dev guide, here you are a snapshot.

Code: Select all


       /*
       * From the dev guide:
       * URI
          geo:latitude,longitude
         geo:latitude,longitude?z=zoom
         geo:0,0?q=my+street+address
         geo:0,0?q=business+near+city
       */
      
      Intent shareIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
      String uri = "geo:" + latitude + ","+ longitude;
      shareIntent.setData(Uri.parse(uri));
      startActivity(shareIntent);


You should use reverce geocoding to get location from address and point it out by current location.

how about searching a business with a given lat & long? i want to pass my user's location to google maps and tell it to search for a keyword, like 'pizza'

Substitute the above code from icobasco:

Code: Select all

String uri = "geo:" + latitude + ","+ longitude;

with:

Code: Select all

String uri = "geo:" + latitude + ","+ longitude + "?q=pizza";
