Sorry I posted that from my phone and it didn't come out right. I was hoping that there would be a set of system intents that would be passed on to whatever app is designated by the user as the default app.
Perhaps I don't understand the inner workings of android enough but I just assumed that things would work this way. So if I have to use player specific intents for each different media player, what is the best way to discover which intents an application supports? I've tried pulling the AndroidManifest.xml from the apk's but they have been processed into a semi-unreadable state.
