open google Maps with given directions (route)

Question

Is there a way in Andorid Studio to open the Google Maps App with already given parameters for routing (directions). Like there are many possible routes to get to your destination. I want to select or create my own routing to the destination and then starting Google Maps for Navigation.

Could you please help me?

Answer is taken from Launching Google Maps Directions via an intent on Android.

Uri.Builder directionsBuilder = new Uri.Builder()
                .scheme("https")
                .authority("www.google.com")
                .appendPath("maps")
                .appendPath("dir")
                .appendPath("")
                .appendQueryParameter("api", "1")
                .appendQueryParameter("origin", "28.7041" + "," + "77.1025")
                .appendQueryParameter("destination", "18.5204" + "," + "73.8567");

        startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, directionsBuilder.build()));

If you want origin as your current location, remove below line:

.appendQueryParameter("origin", "28.7041" + "," + "77.1025")
