Android :: Intent To Open Video With Raw Resource
Nov 9, 2010
Does anyone know of an intent I can use to open a raw mp4 resource in the phone's video player?
I tried this code:
CODE:..............
This threw an ActivityNotFoundException, however this has worked for me when the URI was the sdcard and the video was located there. Does anyone know how I can use the above code with a resource file in my app?

I have a Service defined in the manifest with an intent filter that refuses to match when specified as a String resource but works when the literal action is entered in the manifest. Is there any reason I should not be able to use a String resource with an action in an intent filter?

I'm writing a program which requires that a video be packaged with it. The only way I know of doing this is by adding the video to res/ raw/, which coincidentally renders the video useless. I've looked all over the web and the consensus seems to be you can only play streaming video, or video from a file. In the emulator if I attempt to play the video through the method used here ( http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html ), all I get is audio and a black screen. I've attempted to use VideoView as well, and the same thing occurs, audio but with a black screen. There must be a way to package video with your application without needing an SD card, or having to stream the file and have the video actually play. In the words of Google, I would like to create a "seamless" experience.

I am trying to get a video to pop up and play. I can get it to work when I use the first uri (that is commented out in the below code), but when I try to use the second uri (from the resource), I get the following error:
CODE:..........
From researching the error, it looks like I might have to declare an activity in the manifest but I'm not sure if that applies here?? Can someone point me in the right direction?

I know how to update my own programs, and I know how to open programs using the a predefined Uri (for sms or email for example)
I need to know how I can create an Intent to open MyTracks or any other application that I don't know what intents they listen to.
I got this info from DDMS, but I havn't been succesful in turning this to an Intent I can use. This is taken from when opening MyTracks manually.

Forgive me if this is a topic that has already been discussed, but I've searched for hours and can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I'm trying to cut my teeth on Android programming with a simple file manager app and currently have most all functions working, but I can't seem to open a selected file with the appropriate app.
Here is my current code:

I don't want to store said file on the sdcard in this case. The file also cannot be storage directly in the apps local files directory. It needs to be in a subdirectory, so it cannot write the file using openFileOutput() and MODE_WORLD_READABLE.
The app may download files small files like pdfs and store them locally in a subdirectory. I would like to be able to have the user open these files if they have an app that can open them.
For example here is an intent for sending a pdf:
CODE:..............
path being something like: /data/data/packagename/files/subdir/example.pdf
That intent will open a pdf viewer, but the viewer is unable to open the file. I assume this is a permissions issue. I tried Mark Murphy's suggestion here: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/4e55d869213483a9/b7270078ac1a2744?lnk=raot of using Runtime.getRuntime().exec("chmod 755 " + fileName); but it didn't make any difference. He also suggested a Content Provider but I would like to avoid it if I can because it seems like a lot just to get this file over to another app.
If the content provider is the only option, do I have to save the file to the content provider or can I just use the content provider as a pass through to get it to the other app when I need to?

And called the Intent in Application B by using folloing code:

I've been trying to find out how to create an intent that will open the user's preferred browser without specifying the URL. I know how to open it by giving a specific URL like this:Intent intent = new Intent();intent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); intent.setData (android.net.Uri.parse ("http://www.google.com")) ;context.startActivity (intent);I don't want to open the browser to any page in particular, just the set homepage or whatever page the user was on last. I've thought about looking up the homepage set within the app but you can't do it with the default Browser app because it is private. Does anybody know of a way to do this?

I watch a lot of anime from Nwanime or TV series from Couchtuner When I open these video webpages on Android I have to nagivate like on a desktop browser (tiny play button and maximise button and seek bar) On the iphone the video would open in the default video player.
How can I enable my Android device to open these videos with a default video player like mxplayer for example?
*note. Mxplayer is already my dafault player, so if I open an actual video file it plays in mxplayer. My problem is with web video

I am writing a very small app that just opens the camera app ready for video. I am able to get my code to work on an Android 2.2 emulator, but it will not work on my device, Motorola Droid 1 stock 2.2 FRG22D. Any ideas where I went wrong on this code?
CODE:............
It appears ThorstenW is correct. I would upvote your answer if I had enough rep. You can see from the logcat that com.android.camera could not be found and throws a fatal exception. Logcat below.

I'm working on an android application that plays video, by using an intent:tostart = new Intent(Intent. ACTION_ VIEW);tostart.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(movieurl), "video/*");startActivity(tostart);This works great. However, when you press the back button (on the device), the movieplayer goes back to the beginning of the movie. Only when you press back again, it goes back to my application. While the current behaviour makes some sense, I would like to know if I can change it: Is is possible to directly go back after pressing back?

My application has buttons to launch gallery and video camera apps but the below code only seems to work on phones with the standard Cupcake build:
// For Gallery Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClassName("com.android.camera", "com.android.camera.GalleryPicker");
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); mContext.startActivity(intent);
// For Video Camera Intent intent = new Intent(); intent.setClassName("com.android.camera", "com.android.camera.VideoCamera"); intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK); mContext.startActivity(intent);
On rooted / non-cupcake phones, I get this error:
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class {com.android.camera/com.android.camera.VideoCamera};
have you declared this activity in your AndroidManifest.xml? at android.app.Instrumentation.checkStartActivityResult (Instrumentation.java:1480) at android.app.Instrumentation.execStartActivity(Instrumentation.java: 1454) at android.app.Activity.startActivityForResult(Activity.java:2656) at android.app.Activity.startActivity(Activity.java:2700)

I am developing am app to take photos and Video and then email the file to the user. The app works fine for photos on the phone and simulator. And works fine for Video on the simulator, but when I try video on the phone it returns a null pointer on the line Uri u = data.getData(). The phone I have tried it on is the HTC.
ContentValues values = new ContentValues ();
values.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.MIME_TYPE, "video/3gp");
values.put(MediaStore.Video.Media.DESCRIPTION, "Video");
ImageUri = getContentResolver().insert (android.provider.MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, values);

I have an XML resource file:
<resources> <section>
<category value="1" resourceId="@xml/categoryData1" />
<category value="2" resourceId="@xml/categoryData2" />
<category value="3" resourceId="@xml/categoryData3" />
</section> </resources>
Using XmlPullParser, on the START_TAG, I can use:
int value = parser.getAttributeIntValue(null, "value", 0);
to get values 1, 2, 3...however:
int resourceId = parser.getAttributeIntValue(null, "resourceId", 0);
doesn't work...it just yields the default value 0, or whatever I change the default value (3rd parameter) to be. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or if this is possible?

One of my 'must-haves' is the ability to open any kind of attachment that comes in with an email (.doc, .docx, .xls, .ppt, .jpeg, etc.) I was assured the Ally could with the application docs-to-go. I am now finding that it's a hit and miss with opening files. Files that have the .doc extension will come up and say 'can't open this video'.

In Gmail, when I get a "wmv" attachment and hit the "preview" button, I get a list of video players that I have installed, but the one that will actually play a wmv file is not on the list. The others will only play the audio. Where do I go to add the player that will handle wmv files to the list of choices in Gmail?
