By direction intent, I am assuming you mean the Turn By Turn Navigation intent. To do that you can do the following:

Uri gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse("google.navigation:q=37.7749,-122.4194&mode=b");
Intent mapIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri);
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps");
startActivity(mapIntent);

The main thing here is the Uri that is being used. The &mode=bat the end of the uri defines bicycling mode. You can also use d for driving mode (which is also the default). w is for walking.

You can use q=a+street+address format, which is demonstrated above or you can also use Latitude and Longitude there in format: q=latitude,longitude

Put navigation mode as dirflg.

  • d for driving.
  • b for bicycle.
  • w for walking.

  • l for two wheeler.

    val uri = Uri.parse("http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=33.489954,73.098888 &daddr=33.499009,73.101076 &dirflg=w")
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri)
intent.flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK
startActivity(intent)
