Android: Start Default Audio Intent from res file

0
votes

I am trying to play an audio file present in res/raw directory using the default audio player from my app.

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(String.format("android.resource://%s/%s/%s",getContext().getPackageName(),"raw","fade")), "audio/*");     

startActivity(intent);

However, every time I am getting exception:

android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=android.resource://com.example.android.punjabi/raw/fade typ=audio/* launchParam=MultiScreenLaunchParams { mDisplayId=0 mFlags=0 } }

I have tried out the ways mentioned in here:

Get URI of .mp3 file stored in res/raw folder in android

It still gives me the same exception.

Any help please. I don't want to use the MediaPlayer class to play the audio. I want to use the default audio player on the phone to play it.

There is no requirement for any device to have an app capable of supporting playing back audio from a Uri using the under-utilized android:resource scheme.

Either:

  • Play it yourself using MediaPlayer, or

  • Copy the contents of that resource to a file, then use FileProvider to serve it up using a content Uri
