I'm trying to share a location from Google Maps to my own Android, I'm doing it with an Intent in my app and I successfully get the Intent in my app, but I'm getting something like this:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/SUeYVuEWd5u9Xn5B8
So, the problem is that I can't get latitude and longitude from this URL.
In my AndroidManifest I have and intent filter in the activity where I want to get the location
<activity
android:name=".activities.MainActivity"
android:exported="true"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.SEND" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<data android:mimeType="text/plain" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Then, in my activity I receive the intent in this way
Intent intent = getIntent();
String action = intent.getAction();
String type = intent.getType();
if(Intent.ACTION_SEND.equals(action) && type != null) {
if("text/plain".equals(type)) {
String sharedText = intent.getStringExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT);
if(sharedText != null) {
//sharedText = https://maps.app.goo.gl/SUeYVuEWd5u9Xn5B8
Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this);
List<Address> addressesList = geocoder.getFromLocationName(sharedText, 1);
}
}
}
But the addressesList
object has a size of 0 since I can't get the location from https://maps.app.goo.gl/SUeYVuEWd5u9Xn5B8
Whats is the best way to get latitude and longitude?
