How to filter an implicit intent in android.?

Question

I use the following code to call google map and retrieve data using implicit intent.

Intent searchAddress = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri
                        .parse("geo:0,0?q=" + location));
startActivity(searchAddress);**

I want some information about hospitals instead of showing all the data in Google Maps.

Is this possible to specify the location and place in implicit intent ACTION VIEW..?

Answer 1

You can use Google Maps/Google Places API directly, without calling Intents.

All yo need is:

• Obtain Google Maps API key
• Prepare an URL with the query parameters like location and what you're looking for (See the reference here).
• Fetch the response from the URL (there are lot of tutorials how to download sth on Android)
• Parse the response, for example using JSON library.
