Android Question share option to share coordinates

leitor79 · Dec 12, 2018

Hi,

I want my app to have a button to share user coordinates (selected on a mapfragment) with a desired app (waze, google maps or whatever the user chooses). I've read here but the example download link is down.

Which would be the approach to achieve this?

Regards!

I wouldn't use any library for such things.
You only need to find the intent structure. Google can help you with this.

B4X:

Dim in As Intent
in.Initialize(in.ACTION_VIEW, $"geo:${lat},${lon}?q=${lat},${lon}"$)
StartActivity(in)

Thank you very much!
I've noticed your code opens google map directly. Is there a way to open the "share menu", the one with the list of apps the user can choose?

Could you provide some tips about what do I have to search in google? I'm not familiar with android development outside b4a...

Thank you very much!
