Is it possible to launch Huawei Petal Maps with navigation from point A to point B using intent just like in google maps? If yes, how?

Yes, you can use an intent to launch the Petal Map app, and then use navigation functions in the app.

  • Deep link example:
mapapp://navigation?saddr=xxx&daddr=xxx&language=xx&type=xxx
mapapp://navigation?saddr=home&daddr=company&language=en&type=drive
mapapp://navigation?type=exit
  • To use this function, you need to set uriString to the following:
"mapapp://navigation?saddr=25.102916,55.165363&daddr=25.164610000000,55.228869000000&language=en&type=drive"
  • Sample code after modification:
String uriString = "mapapp://navigation?saddr=25.102916,55.165363&daddr=25.164610000000,55.228869000000&language=en&type=drive"; 
Uri content_url = Uri.parse(uriString); 
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, content_url); 
if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
     startActivity(intent); 
}

For more details, see docs.

    Thank you! This is the exact answer I was looking for. Also, thanks for linking the docs for Petal Maps navigation. I was not able to find it before. – ccd Jan 15 '21 at 01:12

As it would seem from this link, India is currently not among the supported regions for Huawei Petal Map. Currently, you would not be able to use it for navigation.
