Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

The schema is "http", so the webview will be open.

I need to user choice their own player to play video and I try
public class VideoViewActivity extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); String videoUrl = "http://someurl/video.mp4"; Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); i.setData(Uri.parse(videoUrl)); startActivity(i); }
But in my example activity open browser not a list of current installed player. Which option of Intent I should use? Is it possible?

Admin about 12 yearsThank you ! You are right, but if I use "Nik...." example I can select browser or player. But in my example url directly opens in default browser.
