issue with Intent while I want to take the map Uri and go to GoogleMap or browser to show the location

I'm trying to get the Longitude and Latitude and Intent user to the map but I get an error, I've searched in Stack and my method are exactly the same as other people, but I get crash when I call startActivity(intent) method.

here's my code:

public void routReq(View view) {

    if(saloon.getEntity_address() != null) {

        String uri = "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:  " + saloon.getEntity_address().getLatitude()+","+saloon.getEntity_address().getLongitude()+"&mode=d";

        Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,
                Uri.parse(uri));
        intent.setClassName("com.google.android.apps.maps", "com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity");
        startActivity(intent);
    } else {
        Snackbar.make(view, "there's no map for this place!", Snackbar.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }

}

and this is the cause android studio gave me:

Caused by: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.google.android.apps.maps/com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity}; have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml?

which I did declare in Manifest.

<activity
        android:theme="@style/viewSaloneTheme"
        android:name="ir.drax.beautyTime.Activities.ViewSalon"
        android:screenOrientation="portrait" />

and also:

Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

You are getting ActivityNotFoundException, simply because the defined activity is not found in defined package by your intent. So, instead of using setClassName as,

Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
intent.setClassName("com.google.android.apps.maps", "com.google.android.maps.MapsActivity");
startActivity(intent);

Use setPackageName. as,

Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(uri));
intent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
startActivity(intent);

So, GoogleMap internally handle your intent(in it's defined activity). It will work.
