Here it's really simple to launch google maps from your application:
//geo:0,0 if you don't have lat/lng for the location and just wanna search using address.

Uri gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse("geo:0,0?q=pass the address here");
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
//set package to "com.google.android.apps.maps" so that only google maps is opened.
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
startActivity(mapIntent);

You can get coordinates from adress by use Geocoder and after open google maps by coordinates

Something like that

   mMap = ((SupportMapFragment) getSupportFragmentManager()
            .findFragmentById(R.id.map)).getMap();

    Log.v("ddd", mAddress);

    Geocoder geocoder = new Geocoder(this, Locale.getDefault());
            //To initialice list of address
    List<Address> addresses = null;
    try {
                    //To put the address in list
        addresses = geocoder.getFromLocationName(mAddress, 1);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
            //Get Latitude and longitude
    Address address = addresses.get(0);
    mLongitude = address.getLongitude();
    mlatitude = address.getLatitude();
