Java - Open Waze GPS navigation or google map with Intent

You can open Waze or Google Maps using an Intent in Android. Here's how you can do it:

Open Waze:

String uri = "https://waze.com/ul?q=" + latitude + "," + longitude; Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri)); intent.setPackage("com.waze"); startActivity(intent);

Replace latitude and longitude with the actual latitude and longitude values of the location you want to navigate to.

Open Google Maps:

String uri = "geo:" + latitude + "," + longitude + "?q=" + latitude + "," + longitude; Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri)); intent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps"); startActivity(intent);

Replace latitude and longitude with the actual latitude and longitude values of the location you want to navigate to.

Important Notes:

  1. Before starting the intent, you should check if the app (Waze or Google Maps) is installed on the device to avoid crashes:
if (isAppInstalled("com.waze")) { // Open Waze } else { // Show a message to the user indicating that Waze is not installed }
  1. You need to add the appropriate permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Helper Method to Check if App is Installed:

private boolean isAppInstalled(String packageName) { PackageManager pm = getPackageManager(); try { pm.getPackageInfo(packageName, PackageManager.GET_ACTIVITIES); return true; } catch (PackageManager.NameNotFoundException e) { return false; } }

This method checks if the specified package is installed on the device.

Additional Notes:

  • Ensure that you handle the case where the app is not installed on the device.
  • The URI format for Waze and Google Maps might change in future versions of the apps, so make sure to check the documentation for any updates.
  • Test your code on different devices and Android versions to ensure compatibility.
