Pass multiple songs to default music player

Question

I am using this code to play song with the player that the user would select.

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
File file = new File(ur);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "audio/*");
startActivity(intent);

My question is how can i modify this code to pass multiple song paths, so that when the current song is completed the next one can play. I came across this question on SO: Play multiple songs with Android intent and found out that this can't be done. However the last activity has been a year before so i was wondering is there any hack/support that has been developed during this period for doing this?

Please remember that i am not implementing a music player in my app. i'm just passing the music file's uri to the music player on device.

Answer 1

I am using this code to play song with the default music player.

No, that code invokes the user's chosen activity for handling ACTION_VIEW of an audio/* file: Uri. There are thousands of applications that will advertise activities with a compatible <intent-filter>. This includes dozens, if not hundreds, of "default music player" apps that ship pre-installed on the thousands of Android device models out there.

You delete that code and play the music yourself, using MediaPlayer.

Correct.

No, in part because that "hack/support" would have to work on those thousands of apps.
