Spotify Intent

[enrico]

Who is so kind to give me a hint about running Spotify with an Intent ?
I've tryed with a WebView but I don't know why it always asks for installing Spotify even if I already have it.

Thanks

Is there any documentation available about this app? Do you just want to start it?

I would like to check if it's installed (if it's needed) and then run it in a webview or with intent.

You can use PackageManager.GetApplicationIntent for that.

Try this:

Dim i As Intent

i.Initialize(i.ACTION_VIEW, "spotify:track:1kNZnFFOI5jrbBh3lHyy8H")
i.SetComponent("com.spotify.mobile.android.ui")

StartActivity(i)

To check if the Spotify app is installed, read my answer to your other post HERE and modify the code accordingly.

Can I run a link like this in a webview (it seems not) ?

Have you tried it?, you should try first and THEN ask.

Of course, I tried if I ask...
