Weird, I don't see any <intent-filter> on that class, I was looking here:
http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Camera.git;a=blob;f=AndroidManifest.xml;h=efbaa3dce34327125b257b57ff46379851433fba;hb=HEAD at the Manifest file, maybe I am looking in the wrong place for the source? Can you point me at a URL where did you see the <intent- filter>? I just starting doing video with this intent in SDK 5. I just tried it again, and it opens the browser first: Uri uri=Uri.parse(getString (R.string.mainHelpVid_captureCard_URL)); Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri); i.setType("video/mp4"); i.setData(uri); startActivity(i); Does the above code look right to you? I am parsing a http URL from my strings.xml file. Yeah would be nice if they published some kind of release schedule, even if it is very vague. I know it is very hard to be specific when you are in the public eye. Thanks for pointing me at your source, I will give it a try.
