I have an mp3 i save to sdcard if i start the MediaPlayer.play then it will just play it with no UI for forward,backward, so i just wanted to start the standard android media player so it will play my audio and in this way the user would be able interact with the media - forward backward etc. (I saw some ui projects for mediaPlayer but i really want the standard android media player, isn't there some intent to it?)
thanks

Prepare media file: To play a media file, you need to first prepare it i.e. you need to load the file for playback. Methods used for doing this are prepare(), prepareAsync(), and setDataSource(). Start/Pause the playback: After loading the media file, you can start playing the media file by using the start() method.
You can play audio or video from media files stored in your application's resources (raw resources), from standalone files in the filesystem, or from a data stream arriving over a network connection, all using MediaPlayer APIs. Note: You can play back the audio data only to the standard output device.
The Media Player requires a SurfaceHolder object for displaying video content, assigned using the setDisplay() method. The Surface View is a wrapper around the Surface Holder object. Note that we must implement the SurfaceHoler. Callback interface.
Standard way to do that:
Intent viewMediaIntent = new Intent();
viewMediaIntent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
File file = new File(objectFilePath);
viewMediaIntent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "audio/*");
viewMediaIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
startActivity(viewMediaIntent);
If you change type to "image/*" you can see individual images, with "video/*" you play video files.
