Turning a string into a Uri in Android
I have a string, 'songchoice'. I want it to become a 'Uri' so I can use with MediaPlayer.create(context, Uri)
How can I convert songchoice to the Uri?
Solution 1:
Uri myUri = Uri.parse("http://www.google.com");
Here's the doc http://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/Uri.html#parse%28java.lang.String%29
Solution 2:
Uri.parse(STRING);
See doc:
String: an RFC 2396-compliant, encoded URI
Url must be canonicalized before using, like this:
Uri.parse(Uri.decode(STRING));
