SHOW_RADAR should use geo URI.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Radar introduces the new
intent: http://www.openintents.org/en/node/46
Intent i = new Intent("com.google.android.radar.SHOW_RADAR");
i.putExtra("latitude", 37.422f);
i.putExtra("longitude", -122.084f);
startActivity(i);

Wouldn't it make more sense to use the geo: URI scheme here instead of
using
extras?http://www.openintents.org/en/node/62http://code.google.com/android/refer
ence/available-intents.html

Then the same content URI could be either used with VIEW to show a
map, or SHOW_RADAR to show the radar... (or even rename the action to
VIEW_RADAR to allow for various VIEW modes on geo data...?)

What do you think?

Yea, yea! But I'm much more noob than that... how do I invoke the code above? I 
have sdk....

Do I save it as an apk and then run adb? That's how rudimentary I am...
