Android Intent.ACTION_VIEW

android, android-intent, video

Solution

Please try below code.

String videoUrl = "http://someurl/video.mp4";
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);  
i.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(videoUrl),"video/mp4");  
startActivity(i);

Problem

I need to user choice their own player to play video and I try ``` public class VideoViewActivity extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); String videoUrl = "http://someurl/video.mp4"; Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setData(Uri.parse(videoUrl)); startActivity(i); } ``` But in my example activity open browser not a list of current installed player. Which option of Intent I should use? Is it possible?
