Question

I assume that you can open images from your resources folder with Intent.ACTION_VIEW?

If not then let me know, and don’t bother reading on! haha

If you can then I have this code:

Intent mainIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.tclayson.myapp/"+extrasImgs.mImagesIds[position]);
mainIntent.setDataAndType(uri, "image/jpg");
startActivity(mainIntent);

And yet it is giving me this error:

E/AndroidRuntime(  309): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
E/AndroidRuntime(  309): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=android.resource://com.tclayson.myapp/2130837611 }

I have no idea what could be wrong with this! Any help would be brilliant.

Thanks

I couldn’t find the answer to this. So I created my own image viewer in the app.
