Android video intent: Control back button?

Question

I'm working on an android application that plays video, by using an intent:

tostart = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
tostart.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(movieurl), "video/*");
startActivity(tostart); 

This works great. However, when you press the back button (on the device), the movieplayer goes back to the beginning of the movie. Only when you press back again, it goes back to my application. While the current behaviour makes some sense, I would like to know if I can change it: Is is possible to directly go back after pressing back? Thanks! PanMan.

Answer 1

given that you cannot handle another application's key event, your other option is to find (or build) some third party application that plays video.
