I know that this post is like this question : How to get a list of installed media players but i tried to test the code and it crashes ! this is the code :

public class Newactivity extends Activity {
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.display);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(MediaStore.Video.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,"1"); 
intent.setData(uri);
List<ResolveInfo> playerList;
PackageManager packageManager = null;
playerList = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);
    }

There may not be any content at that Uri, since you are making it up. Please use a Uri to an actual piece of content.

Beyond that, examine the stack trace in LogCat to see what you may be doing wrong.

UPDATE

PackageManager packageManager = null;
playerList = packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0);

Since packageManager is null, you will get a NullPointerException here. Use getPackageManager() to get an instance of PackageManager.
