Drop Pin on Default Google Maps from My App in And

Question

i have an address for a location. when i click some button in my app. it should redirect to default google map in android and drop the pin to that particular location. how to do that? Any Idea?

Answer 1

The Android documentation describes the various Intents that the Google Maps application will respond to, if it exists on a given device. You will presumably want a geo:0,0?q=my+street+address Uri on an ACTION_VIEW Intent.

Answer 2

Here is an example of how I did it using a "View on map" button. Posting here to help others in need because It took me the whole day to figure it out:
