I need to show the driving direction using external google map application i found this link http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/g-app-intents.html ,but the below opens the Maps application to the given location
Uri uri = Uri.parse("geo:13.070984,80.253639");
Intent in = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
startActivity(in);
I need to know is there is any way to pass two geo location to get driving direction.
yes its very easy to show the direction if you have the latitude and longitude of both source and destination.
Just see the following code:
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr="+latitude_source+","+longitude_source+"&daddr="+latitude_dest+","+longitude_dest));
startActivity(intent);
Where
latitude_source=Latitude
of your source
longitude_source=Longitude
of your source
latitude_dest=Latitude
of your destination
longitude_dest=Longitude
of your destination
Just replace these value with your actual data.
.Use the above code on some particular event.
Hope this will help you.
I've implemented this by firing an intent that uses a Google Maps URL - the Maps application picks it up, and it works. I think it is not officially recommended, but for me is working well.
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse(String.format(http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=%s&daddr=%s, startAddress, endAddress)));
startActivity(intent);
The above works for location NAMES, you may need to tweak it to use lat/long. Here's an example Google Maps directions URL between two lat/long points that will be useful:
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=A685&daddr=M40&hl=en&geocode=FazjPwMdRKPc_w%3BFeS8GgMdNMfr_w&mra=me&mrsp=1,0&sz=5&sll=53.800651,-4.064941&sspn=22.244994,67.631836&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=5
You can get routing between two locations with the following URL.
https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=kedah&daddr=johor
saddr is the start, and daddr is the destination.
Example code:
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse(String.format("http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=kedah&daddr=johor")));
startActivity(intent);
