Is it possible to open Android Google Map voice search?

Question

I would like to open this directly from my program, is it possbile?

I checked this, but cannot found relevant information

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-api/intents

If it is impossible, is there any alternative way?

Answer 1

You can't do that from your activity. In the image above you can see a dialog that catches the voice of the user, this is because Google Maps calling an intent ACTION_RECOGNIZE_SPEECH, and you can't start an intent and after calling Maps.

Answer 2

Here is the only documentation that I found on the internet for that question. The Adding Voice Capabilities. Just remember that these voice actions are task-based and are built into the Wear platform. So you need to use Android wear for that, see Maps API on Android wear.

Just read the two documentation to understand more. Also take note, that do not violate any terms of service on the Google Maps. Here is one example question for that.

So far, I have not used this voice capablities, so I'm not sure if it will really help you, but I think I give you a small idea with it. Goodluck and Happy coding :)
