Android Intent for media player plays mp3 but does not display information(Title, Artist, Album Art)
<p>It is very easy to call an intent for the native Android Media Player to play an MP3 file. e.g.</p>

<pre><code>Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW); 
 Uri data = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/bigTune.mp3"); 
 intent.setDataAndType(data,"audio/mp3"); 
    try { 
         startActivity(intent); 
        } 
           catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) { 
         e.printStackTrace(); 
        }
</code></pre>

<p>The Problem is that when the player starts the file plays and the album art CD is blank and the player shows NO song Information.</p>

<p>If the same was to be done through a file manager like Astro file Manager, I would see the song Information (Title, Artist Album Art)</p>

<p>Is there any thing else that i need to know to add to the Intent or something else that I need to do to enable the Media Player to show the mp3's Info ???</p>

<p>Thanks is advance</p>
