Question

When I try to start a video intent on my Nexus S for some reason Adobe Reader is always launched.

Here is how I launch my Intent:

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setType("video/*");
i.setData(Uri.parse("... .3gp));
act.startActivity(i);

But this results in the following log:

I/ActivityManager(  109): Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=file:///mnt/sdcard/.../.3gp cmp=com.adobe.reader/.AdobeReader } from pid 26934

Answer 1

After all the way the intent was created seemed to do the trick.
The following code worked for me:

final Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(path), "video/*");
act.startActivity(intent);
