integrate Google Sky Map into an application

I want to integrate Google Sky Map in my application. Does it have an API?

What steps shou开发者_如何学运维ld be taken to integrate with this service, and how can I integrate it in an application?

Was also looking for a way, but didn't find one.

One of the developers said this 6-7 months ago about integration/API

I'm one of the developers on the Sky Map project. At present there are no intents defined beyond the search intents. If you just want to point at a particular named target you could try those. At the moment we don't support kml or other Intents though.

If you do happen to find some new information, please share.

To call Google Sky Map from within your application:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEARCH); i.setPackage("com.google.android.stardroid"); i.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, "mars");
startActivity(i);
