How can I send the user to a video player in Android?

Question

I have read this article: Sending the User to Another App

If user click on a button, and they should be sent to a video player to watch the video, could anyone please tell me what I should put in the Intent's constructor? I have the path of an mp4 file as String.

Answer 1

try following code

File file=new File(filepath);
Uri uriToFile=Uri.fromFile(file);

Intent shareIntent = new Intent();
shareIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
shareIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_STREAM, uriToFile);
shareIntent.setType("*/mp4");
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(shareIntent,"Send to"));
