Is there any way to send a song title to the spotify app from my app so that it will start playing the song through spotify?
I tried using the bellow code i found in another code but nothing happens.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); intent.setAction(MediaStore.INTENT_ACTION_MEDIA_PLAY_FROM_SEARCH); intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.spotify.mobile.android.ui", "com.spotify.mobile.android.ui.Launcher")); intent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, "michael jackson smooth criminal");
I know shazam is able to do this.
You are just creating an Intent, but you don't start the Intent.
add this line after setting up your intent
startActivity(intent);
So the complete code would look like that
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); intent.setAction(MediaStore.INTENT_ACTION_MEDIA_PLAY_FROM_SEARCH); intent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.spotify.mobile.android.ui", "com.spotify.mobile.android.ui.Launcher")); intent.putExtra(SearchManager.QUERY, "michael jackson smooth criminal"); try { startActivity(intent); }catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) { Toast.makeText(context, "You must first install Spotify", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse("market://details?id=com.spotify.mobile.android.ui")); startActivity(i); }
