Android - launch google map via web url

Question

On the iPhone, a maps.google.com URL is intercepted and loaded by the native google maps application. I would like do the same on Android, but Google Maps is being loaded in

Answer 1

At this moment I use a javascript function that change the following templates:

'urlTemplates': {
            "default": "http://maps.google.com?q={streetAddress} {addressLocality} {addressRegion} {postalCode} {addressCountry}",
            "ios": "maps:?saddr=Current Location&daddr={streetAddress} {addressLocality} {addressRegion} {postalCode} {addressCountry}",
            "android": "geo:{streetAddress} {addressLocality} {addressRegion} {postalCode} {addressCountry}",
            "windows_phone7": "maps:{streetAddress} {addressLocality} {addressRegion} {postalCode} {addressCountry}",
            "windows_phone8": "bingmaps:?where={streetAddress} {addressLocality} {addressRegion} {postalCode} {addressCountry}",
            "blackberry": "javascript:blackberry.launch.newMap({'address':{'address1':'{streetAddress}','city':'{addressLocality}','country':'{addressCountry}','stateProvince':'{addressRegion}','zipPostal':'{postalCode}'}});"

with what informations I got depending on the device, I do not remember from where I got all the templates and I am sorry for that, and after that I open the the address using window.location.href.

Hope this will help you. Because at the time I need this I spent a lot of time researching it.
