Can i programmatically play radio on android?

Question

I have on my s2 a predefined app that lets me listen to radio. It doesn't use the Internet, instead it uses the surrounding radio waves. Is there any way in which i can use that feature to programmatically start the radio and search for radio stations?

Answer 1

It seems you can't, according to this post in the Android googlegroup.

I guess that the most you can do is launching the radio app via an appropriate intent; I think, however, that these intents belong to a single vendor's SDK (check this presentation from Archos, for instance ).

So, I think that your best bet is to search for similar, vendor-provided api by Samsung
