There is a custom scheme (smsto:) for SMSes, to go along with ACTION_SENDTO. If you want to play some file (e.g., MP3), ACTION_VIEW on it should work, AFAIK. And that is about it with respect to generic Intents relative to media playback. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
