Answer 1

Maybe you can try to put ur uri as below: Uri uri =Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?q=" +_lat +","+_lon);

At least the above code work for me. It help me add a pin point on top of the location i search for. furthermore, the pin point will have a small dialog box to press on, it provide me the function of searching the direction to that location. :D
