Open local KML File in Google Maps on Android

Question

I have loaded a KML file onto an Android device. What\'s the easiest mechanism for loading an overlay of that KML file into Google Maps? I do not want to upload the KML file

Answer 1

File KML = new File("/sdcard/doc.kml");
Intent i = getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.google.earth");
i.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(KML), "xml");
startActivity(i);
