Android Question Open GoogleMap Intent from webview link, is it possible?

[hillzx]

Hi, i am using webview with webviewextras. i open URL maps.google.com and try to click some point location, then try to navigate, clicked "Use the app" (attachment 1), then it can't open google map navigation intent (attachment 2), any idea how to fix this? Thanks a lot

Why aren't you using GoogleMaps library?

 

[hillzx]

if i load url google.com/maps/search/hotel using webview it will generate hotel markers automatically in near area, i don't know how to do it via GoogleMaps library, as i know we need to input each marker location manually with gmaps library, please correct me if i'm wrong

 

[Erel]

You are correct.

The intent will only work if Google Maps app is installed. Are you sure that it is installed?

 

[hillzx]

Yes , google map is installed

Implement the OverrideUrl event and send the intent yourself.

Try this

Sub WebWiew_OverrideUrl (Url As String) As Boolean
  
  if Url.StartsWith("https://www.google.com/maps/") then
      Intent1.Initialize(Intent1.ACTION_VIEW, url)
      Intent1.SetComponent("android/com.android.internal.app.ResolverActivity")
      StartActivity(Intent1)
  End iF
End Sub
