Question

Answer 1

This helper method using uriBuilder for cleaner code and handle condition if there is no activity on device that can open map

public static boolean openMap(Context context, String address) {
    Uri.Builder uriBuilder = new Uri.Builder()
            .scheme("geo")
            .path("0,0")
            .appendQueryParameter("q", address);
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uriBuilder.build());
    if (intent.resolveActivity(context.getPackageManager()) != null) {
        context.startActivity(intent);
        return true;
    }
    return false;
}
