Android Question Need to pass location (lat,long) to "Maps App" in mobile

[Adamdam]

Dear all,
Greetings,

Need to pass location (lat, long) to "Maps App" in mobile to direct navigation to this location.
Ex: when you hit on WhatsApp-message (that contain location) the WhatsApp open other App (Maps in this case) and pass location to this App (Maps - App).
I need to make like this

notes: I don't need to open location inside my app (that require permission and so-on ) - so I need to open other app (i.e. Maps) to handle view and navigation and so-on.

Thanks on advance.
Best regards

The following code , taken from a working app, will navigate to a point from your current location using google maps

Sub NavigatetoLatLong(Lat As String, Lng As String)
    Dim mapIntent As Intent
    Dim gURI As String
    gURI="google.navigation:q=" & Lat & "," & Lng
     
    mapIntent.Initialize(mapIntent.ACTION_VIEW, gURI)
    mapIntent.SetComponent("googlemaps")
    StartActivity(mapIntent)
   
End Sub

you can get other intents here:

Google Maps Intents for Android | Maps URLs | Google for Developers

developers.google.com

the one you need is "GEO"

developers.google.com

Public Sub ShowPointsInMap(Latitude As Double, Longitude As Double)
    Dim GoogleMapIntent As Intent
    GoogleMapIntent.Initialize(GoogleMapIntent.ACTION_VIEW, $"http://maps.google.com/maps?q=${Latitude},${Longitude}"$)
    GoogleMapIntent.SetComponent("android/com.android.internal.app.ResolverActivity")
    StartActivity(GoogleMapIntent)
End Sub
