A good hint is to watch the logcat output while you are using
Android's built-in applications.
If you see a line like this while playing with the built-in media
player:
10-11 21:28:03.031: INFO/ActivityManager(53): Starting activity:
Intent { action=android.intent.action.PICK data=
type=vnd.android.cursor.dir/playlist comp={com.android.music/
com.android.music.PlaylistBrowserActivity} }
then a good candidate to try out would be:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
i.setType(MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.CONTENT_TYPE);
startActivity(i);
because one can find in the documentation:
Intent.ACTION_PICK == "android.intent.action.PICK"
MediaStore.Audio.Playlists.CONTENT_TYPE == "vnd.android.cursor.dir/
playlist"
This lets you pick a playlist from your application.
(ignore the component "comp" when defining the intent. This ensures
that your intent will work on whichever playlist browser is installed
on the phone).
Finally, if you can't find the intent in the OpenIntents registry
http://www.openintents.org/en/intentstable , add it there yourself, or
leave a quick message in our forum http://www.openintents.org/en/forum/11
so that we can add that intent :-)
