geo: Intent with label (Android)

Question

Is there a working way (i heard that as of update 7.0 there were some changes) to display a marker with a position given by latitude/longitude with a label?

geo:?q=latitude, longitude (Label) does not work...

Answer 1

Show point on google map via an intent:

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

startActivity(new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri)));

You can also choose to place a point like so:

String uri = "geo:"+ latitude + "," + longitude + "?q=my+street+address";

startActivity(new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri)));

The Possible Query params options are the following:

• Show map at location: geo:latitude,longitude

• Show zoomed map at location: geo:latitude,longitude?z=zoom

• Show map at location with point: geo:0,0?q=my+street+address

• Show map of businesses in area: geo:0,0?q=business+near+city
