Android launching music player using intent

Question

Is it possible to open the music app from my app in android, or is it best to write a whole new music app inside of mine. I would rather use theirs since the user will already be comfortable with it.

Answer 1

use the droid app.

Answer 2

Is it possible to open the music app from my app in android

Yes and no.

Yes, it is possible to write code to do this.

No, the Intents you would need to use are undocumented and may change in future Android releases. The Music app is just another app; it is not part of the Android SDK's public API.

Answer 3

I found one way to do this.

Intent intent = new Intent();  
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);  
File file = new File(YOUR_SONG_URI);  
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "audio/*");  
startActivity(intent);
