How to play 3gp video file with intent in android?

I want to play .3gp video file in my android tablet. i tried below code, but it throws an error message. How can I play with default video player in android?

String movieurl = root + "/" + fileNameTextView.getText().toString();           
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW); 
Uri data = Uri.parse(movieurl); 
intent.setDataAndType(data,"video/3gpp"); 
startActivity(intent);

And this is the error message:

11-15 13:47:11.060: E/AndroidRuntime(23061): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=/mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/VID_20121002_174209.3gp typ=video/3gpp }

Solution

  • I have changed the String movieurl by adding "file:///" to the beginning: 

    String movieurl = "file:///" + root + "/" + fileNameTextView.getText().toString();

    and that fixed the issue.
