How to open Google Maps using address?

Question

How can I open Google Maps(using Intents or adding Google Maps into my application) with address? I have the address, but I don\'t have latitude/longitude. How can I do it? Than

You can use Google Geocoding API, which converts your physical address into latitude and longitude. API returns it into XML or JSON format. You just need to parse the data to get latitude and longitude. After receiving latitude and longitude you can load it on mapview.
