NPR Podcasts updated with native Music Player
As I slowly figuring out the ins and outs of Android, I’ll getting more updates out on my apps on the Market. Tonight I updated the NPR Podcasts app w/ built-in Music Player:
It’s actually pretty easy, you pass the Uri of the MP3 file to your intent, and fire it off. The system will broadcast that intent and a suitable Music Player will be chosen, or the user will be prompted to choose one if there are multiple available players registered to play the “audio/*” mine type.
Here’s the little codes:
Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "audio/*");
context.startActivity(intent);
The app is updated on the Market now. Download and enjoy!
