title: Suppressing Google Maps Intent Selection Dialog
body: <p>When I use this code</p>
  
  <pre><code>   string url = "somegooglemapsurl.com";
     Intent mapLauncherIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW,  Uri.parse(url));
     startActivity(mapLauncherIntent);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>A selection dialog pops up asking if I want to open this map in the maps application or the browser.  I'd like the transition from my application activity to Google Maps to be seamless.  How can I suppress this dialog and tell android to open the map in the maps activity?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: When I get into Google Maps I want to open a directions prompt using public transpiration in a certain location.  I can do this through a google maps url, but a url brings up the selection dialog.</p>
