Hi guys I want to make a simple application. It will have one button which when clicked will play the song who's URI is hard coded. So i basically want the user to click a button and some song will play in the default media player so that i don't have to code for media player buttons.

Is this possible ? do u have a better approach?

this whole situation arises from the problem of fetching album art basically :)

Maybe this helps ya:

        MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer();     
    mp.setLooping(true);
    try {
        mp.setDataSource(mFile);
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    try {
        mp.prepare();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    mp.start();

mFile is the path to a mp3-file. maybe you can share an uri instead.

Android has a media controller which can bind the media player object. It can be achieved by :

MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer()
MediaController mc = new MediaController(mediaPlayer);
mc.setDataSource(Path);
mc.prepare();
mc.start();

If you have the location of the file you can do something as below.

Intent intent = new Intent();
intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
File file = new File(data);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "audio/*");
startActivity(intent);

Here data is your file path. This however opens a lite version of the player. I am myself looking for a better solution but this will do fine for now.
