Answer 1

For the ones, who are looking for opening the "Maps" app for a particular location(by passing lat and long) and do not want that lat/long co-ordinates to be shown in Maps search bar after redirection(Opening Maps app). Instead wish to show some label or place name, you can refer to the code below,

private void openMapView(String latitude , String longitude , String locationName){
    Uri gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse("geo:"+latitude+","+longitude+"?q="+locationName);
    Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
    mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
    if (mapIntent.resolveActivity(context.getPackageManager()) != null) {
        context.startActivity(mapIntent);
    }
}

Note : "locationName" in the method above, represents the name you wish to display inside the Maps search bar.
