Is there a way to launch a playlist whith intent? I can retrieve the path of the m3u playlist with: Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query (MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null); cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex (MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.DATA)); But, I can't launch this m3u file neither with Intent nor with MediaPlayer.

I know this has been asked a lot of times in StackOverflow already, but I haven't quite found a solution yet. My app sends an email with a link in it that when clicked should launch the app. According to @hackbod, the best way to do it is to make use of the Intent URI (see this). Here's my code that sets the intent and puts it in the email body: Code...

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got two activities, one of them is called MyActivity. I want both of them to be able to use a function located in a class othat we may call MyClass. In MyClass, I try to use an intent to launch the activity AnotherActivity. Since the constructor takes a context as parameter, I simply tried to store a context from the activity in the constructor, and then use it when I try to create my intent.However, even thought none of the arguments are null (checked that with a simple if-statement), intent seems to be null and a NullPointerException is thrown. Why does it not work, and what can I do to solve the problem?
I'm quite new to Android and Java development, so please explain it as basic as you can.

View 4 Replies View RelatedFirst of all let me say that this questions is slightly connected to another question by me. Actually it was created because of that. I have the following code to write a bitmap downloaded from the net to a file in the sd card:
// Get image from url
URL u = new URL(url);
HttpGet httpRequest = new HttpGet(u.toURI());
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpResponse response = (HttpResponse) httpclient.execute(httpRequest);
HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
BufferedHttpEntity bufHttpEntity = new BufferedHttpEntity(entity);
InputStream instream = bufHttpEntity.getContent();
Bitmap bmImg = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(instream);
instream.close();
// Write image to a file in sd card
File posterFile = new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+"/Android/data/com.myapp/files/image.jpg");
posterFile.createNewFile();
BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(posterFile));
Bitmap mutable = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bmImg,bmImg.getWidth(),bmImg.getHeight(),true);
mutable.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, out);
out.flush();
out.close();
// Launch default viewer for the file
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(posterFile.getAbsolutePath()),"image/*");
((Activity) getContext()).startActivity(intent);
A few notes. I am creating the "mutable" bitmap after seeing someone using it and it seems to work better than without it. And I am using the parse method on the Uri class and not the fromFile because in my code I am calling these in different places and when I am creating the intent I have a string path instead of a file. Now for my problem. The file gets created. The intent launches a dialog asking me to select a viewer. I have 3 viewers installed. The Astro image viewer, the default media gallery (I have a milstone on 2.1 but on the milestone the 2.1 update did not include the 3d gallery so it's the old one) and the 3d gallery from the nexus one (I found the apk in the wild). Now when I launch the 3 viewers the following happen:
Astro image viewer: The activity launches but I see nothing but a black screen.
Media Gallery: I get an exception dialog shown "The application MediaGallery (process com.motorola.gallery) has stoppedunexpectedly. Please try again" with a force close option.
3D gallery: Everything works as it should.
When I try to simply open the file using the Astro file manager (browse to it and simply click) I get the same option dialog but this time things are different:
Astro image viewer: Everything works as it should.
Media Gallery: Everything works as it should.
3D gallery: The activity launches but I see nothing but a black screen.
As you can see everything is a complete mess. I have no idea why this happens but it happens like this every single time. It's not a random bug. Am I missing something when I am creating the intent? Or when I am creating the image file? As noted in the comment here is the part of interest in adb logcat. Also I should note that I changed the way I create the image file. Since I want to create a file that reflects an online file I simply download it instead of creating a Bitmap and then creating the file (this was done because at some point I needed the Bitmap but now I do it the other way around). The problems persist thought and are exactly the same:

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have an activity that is showing a video and when the user clicks a button, a new activity is launched. When the video activity stops, I pause the video view. When the video activity starts up again, I try to resume the video view videoView.start(), however, the video starts over from the beginning. I'm thinking that the buffer must be lost somewhere, so I now try to capture the current position via videoView.getCurrentPosition(), however, this is always returning 0.
Anybody know how to resume video playback when an activity starts up again?
Launching a Streetview intent for a location doesn't guarantee that a Streetview exists for that location. If the Streetview doesn't exist, the user just sees a black screen that spins. Is there a way to programmatically check if it exists before launching the Streetview intent?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am wanting to query the members of a given playlist. I have the correct playlist id, and want to use a managedQuery() to look at the playlist members in question.
What I have is this: Code...
I don't know what the volume argument needs to be. I've tried this: MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI.toString() for the "volume" argument.
That gives me back a valid content URI that looks like:
content://media/external/audio/playlists/2/members
However, my cursor comes back null. I probably am way off base -- I know what I want to do is very simple.
when i did, a playlist that has taken me the last two weeks to make disappeared. as luck would have it though it reappeared today for some reason. i would like to make a copy of it to save on my pc in case it decides to disappear again, but i can't seem to find the file. i made the playlist using the "Music" app that came with the phone. it's about 250 songs out of the 4.5 gigs i put on sd card.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am looking for an Android Audio Player that is based on a "now playing" playlist, like Amarok, Winamp or WMP. In relation with that playlist, I want buttons to add a song as the next song, or to add the song to the end of the playlist. Like the Rockbox firmware does it. Is there any app out there that works like this? I don't need any advanced features like lyrics, covers, etc, I just want to listen to music. In case there's nothing around, I'll even consider developing my own. Who needs synched lyrics if there's not even an "add next" option?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI created a shortcut to a playlist (m3u) on my Home screen. When I clicked it, it asked if I wanted to use Meridian media player or the standard one. I prefer Meridian, so I selected that. It opened Meridian and showed the playlist file name, etc, but not the actual playlist. Is there any way to get this to work and actually play (or load) the playlist?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWith my old phone, MyTouch, Android 1.6, I would export a playlist from iTunes as an .m3u file, and copy that playlist file over to /sdcard/music/playlists so that it would be on my phone. I manually copy all of the music from the playlists into /sdcard/music so that every song that is in said playlists is in the music directory. The music app would take awhile to update and read everything, but once I gave it some time to work, everything worked wonderfully. That was all I had to do.
With my new phone, Incredible, Android 2.2, when I do the same steps, it doesn't work. I open the music app, go to the playlist option, and it thinks and thinks and thinks. Then each playlist will appear, alphabetically, and then disappear, until there are no playlists at all.
I read some forums online and have tried multiple things, and apparently Android 2.2 reads the SD card looking for music, and when reading a playlist, if it can't find any of the songs in the list, it deletes the playlist. The playlist is not only deleted from the list in the music app, but is completely deleted from the SD card entirely.
Here is my concern... When this playlist is exported, it has the path from C: on my computer, because that is where the music is housed on the computer. Moving it to my phone has never been a problem previously because it ignored the C: path and just found the song, without worrying about the additional directory information. But the newer version of Android isn't doing the same thing, I think it's more picky?
Anywho, I need my playlists! I don't want to use MediaMonkey, and the m3u files have worked fine in the past - quick and easy, without having to use additional programs. I really, really, REALLY don't want to have to go through these playlist files and remove all of the path information because these are huge lists, but I guess I might have to. Do you have any other ideas on what I can do to make this work?
I've tried different directories for the playlists on the phone - but I don't think that's the problem because the phone can SEE the playlists, and then deletes them. I've tried creating a playlist on the phone so that I could see the format of it, but the playlist that I created can't be found on the phone. I don't know how the phone creates them, or where it houses them, as I tried to search for it and was unsuccessful.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis can't be as difficult as it seems. Just to make sure the SD card is clean I formatted it, then mounted the SD card and using doubleTwist did the following:
- Brought my iTunes playlists into doubleTwist
- Selected the one I wanted on the Droid (named "Mobile Phone")
- Drug it to the connected Droid and the songs start transferring just fine (there's only about 300 in this playlist).
- Transfer gets about 70% completed and just hangs up. DoubleTwist at this point is hung up so can't unmount the SD card. Unplug the USB cable
- Now when I go to the SD card it says "SD card is busy" but of course nothing is happening.
- At this point I have to do a battery pull to gain access to the SD card in order to format it again.
I want to change the order of songs of playlists created in my Android [Samsung Galaxy S / Vibrant], but can't figure out how to do it. I've figured out how to create playlists and delete duplicates. I can delete songs from a playlist, but if I just want to move them up, so far no luck. [I'm trying the free version of MixZing player since the std. player says there's not room in my music database to show me the artists in my collection, but that's a different problem.
