How would I write this intent in b4a?

vb1992 · Nov 21, 2011

I wanted to get the Artist and Song name data from an MP3
(I added some links that could possibly help.)

Intent Intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri data = Uri.parse("sdcard/song.mp3");
Intent.setDataAndType(data,"audio/mp3");
Try {
StartActivity(Intent);
} Catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

B4a?

Dim Intent1 As Intent
Intent1.Initialize(Intent1.ACTION_VIEW,UriStr)
StartActivity(Intent1)

B4X:

 sendBroadcast(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_SCANNER_SCAN_FILE, Uri.parse("file://"+path+filename))); 

 File k = new File(path, filename);   
 ContentValues values = new ContentValues();   
 values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.DATA, k.getAbsolutePath());   
 values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.TITLE, songTitle);   
 values.put(MediaStore.MediaColumns.MIME_TYPE, "audio/mp3");   
 values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.ARTIST, "six3six");   
 values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_RINGTONE, true);   
 values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_NOTIFICATION, true);   
 values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_ALARM, true);   
 values.put(MediaStore.Audio.Media.IS_MUSIC, false);    

 //Insert it into the database
 this.getContentResolver().insert(MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUriForPath(k.getAbsolutePath()), values);

 return true; 
}
