How to browse android gallery for movie/media files in SDK

Can anybody tell me how to browse for a movie file from the android folders (either phone/SD Card memory). Let's say I got a movie file on the phone memory and I want to access it from my application, what is the best way to do it?

Please help me.

Solution

  • I think you need to use

    Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.INTENT_ACTION_MEDIA_SEARCH);

    I'm not sure but I hope this put you in the right track
