Go back after open google map by href in Android App


In my Android App, I have a link that opens a Google Maps URL to show the user how to go to from its location to a certain place. The problem, is that the link opens over my App and I can't go back to it pressing the phone's back shortcut.

In the href attribute of my <a>, im using this URL:

http://maps.google.com/maps?daddr={{item.latitude}},{{item.longitude}}&ll=

I'm using Ionic and AngularJS.

I have tried this solution: Can't go back after clicking on a Google Maps link, but i don't know how to make the same query in the above url using the geo: protocol.

Someone knows how to solve this?


Solution

  • For geo: protocol Please try following code:

    href="geo:<lat>,<long>?q=<lat>,<long>(Label+Name)">Locate</a>

    Change the lat and long as you wish.
