Opening fm radio from an Android application

Question

I am developing an application in which I need to open the FM radio installed in the device. it is only “FM radio” and not “Internet FM radio”.

I know how to open another application using intention

Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN); PackageManager manager = getPackageManager(); i = manager.getLaunchIntentForPackage("com.sec.android.app.fm"); i.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER); startActivity(i); 

But I need the package name of the fm radio application in each device, is there a way that I can query the package name and open the fm radio application.

At the moment I use the galaxy samsung S..fm the name of the radio packet in this device

 com.sec.android.app.fm 

Will this package name be the same for all Android devices.

Anyone please help ..

Answer 1

CyanogenMod uses com.android.fm , for example. I'm not sure about other vendor-specific applications, but I would say that their package names can be very different.

Currently, two, but not necessarily mutually exclusive options come to mind:

• Using a heuristic approach to collect likely candidates for the name of the radio package *
• User requirement to select a radio application from the list of all installed packages

If your application has permissions to access the Internet, you can also collect package names discovered using any method to compile a static list of package names to be included in your next release, hoping to free new users from having to manually select their radio applications .

*) Using PackageManager.getInstalledApplications(...) and scanning the returned List for the entries ".fm." , ".fm" , etc., you can get a list of possible candidates.
