created issue #1

Dec 8, 2022 11:44AM

I have a simple deeplink into Google Map Street View

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        findViewById<Button>(R.id.launch_street_view_button).setOnClickListener {
            val gmmIntentUri = Uri.parse("google.streetview:cbll=46.414382,10.013988")

            val mapIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri)
            mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps")

            startActivity(mapIntent)
        }
    }
}

When I have an old Google Map (version 11.29.7 (#1066493137)), the deeplink into Street View works just fine as per GIF below

Deeplink into Street view works

However, with the latest Google Map (version 11.57.4801 (#1066791007)), the deeplink into Street View just keep spinning forever as GIF below (for the GIF below I cut off after 10 seconds, but even if I waited for long period, it keeps spinning)

Deeplink into Stret view not loading

Suspect this is a Google Map bug. If not please advice.

p/s: I use the same Pixel 4 device and the same compilation of the Android Code. The only change is I

update the Google Map (to version 11.57.4801) - by updating it from Google Play and
downgrade the Google Map (to version 11.29.7) - by uninstalling it in Google Play.

The deeplink code reference get from Google Document https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/android-intents#kotlin_16

// Displays an image of the Swiss Alps
val gmmIntentUri =
  Uri.parse("google.streetview:cbll=46.414382,10.013988")
val mapIntent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, gmmIntentUri)
mapIntent.setPackage("com.google.android.apps.maps")
startActivity(mapIntent)

Same problem here with "google.streetview:cbll=latitude,longitude" that shows a black screen loading forever on Androis 12+ and I can't find an alternative solution.

Status: Won't Fix (Infeasible)

Thanks for the post.

Upon checking, it seems that your issue is related to Google Maps Intents for Android which is unrelated to Google Maps Android SDK. We will have to close this bug but we have logged your issue internally.

Hi Google,

Thanks for checking and getting deeper into the cause of this issue. Is there any new issue link available so we can follow up on the status issue?

mi...@gmail.com <mi...@gmail.com> #10Feb 24, 2023 12:46PM

Seconding the question to if there Is a new issue link for this. I understand and agree that it's not a Google Maps Android SDK issue but it is an issue related to a Google product so would expect your answer to represent your company, and developers creating revenue for Google using its products, in a more helpful way. Please update the post with relevant information so we can follow the progress of an issue causing problems for our customers. Thankyou.
