how to change default video player in android kitkat

For example if you played Google Play Music and you now play Spotify you can create MediaControllers for both.

Token 'identifies' process that plays music. It requires Context and MediaSession.Token. For each application that is currently playing and you want to control it you have to create different MediaController. The best solution is to use MediaController. KeyEvent's don't work properly in newest Android, as well as don't support applications like Spotify. This code imitates play/pause button action from hands-free(ear phones). I have tested this code on Sony, Htc and Samsung devices. KeyEvent downEvent = new KeyEvent(eventtime, eventtime, KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PREVIOUS, 0) KeyEvent downEvent = new KeyEvent(eventtime, eventtime, KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_NEXT, 0) UpIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT, upEvent)

KeyEvent upEvent = new KeyEvent(eventtime, eventtime, KeyEvent.ACTION_UP, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE, 0) Intent upIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON, null) KeyEvent downEvent = new KeyEvent(eventtime, eventtime, KeyEvent.ACTION_DOWN, KeyEvent.KEYCODE_MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE, 0) ĭownIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_KEY_EVENT, downEvent) Intent downIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MEDIA_BUTTON, null) long eventtime = SystemClock.uptimeMillis() The code given below works on all music players. Problem with sending Intent for broadcast receiver is that, user has to open Music Player at least once, also, It does not work for many third party music players.
