Driving directions in 0.9 SDK

Just found an excellent way of showing driving directions in the 0.9 SDK:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

 
this.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
 
Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=37.4,-121.9&daddr=Bellevue, WA&hl=en")));
 
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

More details and screenshots here:

Great jsharkey!

@plusminus: will you update the tutorials to the SDK 0.9 side of things?

Hi jsharkey,

I didn't try DrivinDirection on sdk 0.9 yet, but I think that now we can only "visualize" a route on a WebPage and not on a mapView anymore!!!

This is a big problem for applications that needs a mapView not only to show a route but also to show addictional information like a "MyPosition Point" or "Boe's Pub" :wink:

What about this?

Like ACTION_VIEW can be used to show a driving direction (or a simple location), is there any way to call an Intent to PICK a location ? I just want to start Google maps, centered onmy current location, pick a location in the map, an return the position in my application. Anybody tried ?
