[leoabacade]

my code:

`var url = 'geo:'+this.state.locationLat+','+this.state.locationLng;

    IntentAndroid.canOpenURL(url, (supported) => {
        if (!supported) {
            console.log('Can\'t handle url: ' + url);
        } else {
            IntentAndroid.openURL(url);
        }
    });`

What version of RN are you running?

[rmevans9]

I am assuming this is RN >= 0.37.0. If so please check the breaking changes under 0.37.0

after upgrade to 0.38, IntentAndroid ( for opening google map )is not working any more
but it was functionally @ RN version 0.28
right now I switch to Linking https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linking.html to open the map

not sure I should ask this question @ stackoverflow, since it looks like a bug

@rmevans9, thank you

I'm using react-native version 0.42.3 with Android and receiving the similar error:

undefined is not a function (evaluating 's.Linking.openUrl(e)')

I saw in the source for the 0.42.3 version that the Linking.openURL method is already implemented. Why can't I use with Android?
