I know this is an old question, but it took me some time to sort this out given the sparse Angular documentation. The RouteProvider and routeParams is the way to go. The route wires up the URL to your Controller/View and the routeParams can be passed into the controller.
Check out the Angular seed project. Within the app.js you’ll find an example for the route provider. To use params simply append them like this:
$routeProvider.when('/view1/:param1/:param2', {
templateUrl: 'partials/partial1.html',
controller: 'MyCtrl1'
});
Then in your controller inject $routeParams:
.controller('MyCtrl1', ['$scope','$routeParams', function($scope, $routeParams) {
var param1 = $routeParams.param1;
var param2 = $routeParams.param2; //change here from param1 to param2
...
}]);
