What is the best way for pick a video in Android

Question

I got a perfect Intent.ACTION_PICK with my picture.

startActivityForResult(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Images.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI), SELECT_IMAGE);

But it doesn't work with video. When i click on a video of my list, it play the vidoe instead of send me back.

startActivityForResult(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, android.provider.MediaStore.Video.Media.INTERNAL_CONTENT_URI), SELECT_VIDEO);

An idea ?

Answer 1

You want to use Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT and specify video/* for the type to pass to Intent.setType. See Stackoverflow - Android access videos and photos on Android 1.5 for an example.
