When trying to play a Video on Android, the app is prompting the user to select the player.

In code, I am doing the following. Is it possible that I select the player so the user wont' be prompted?

String url = (String) v.getTag();
            Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(url), "video/*");
            startActivity(intent);

Below is the image this is shown to the user: enter image description here

Edit pasted as answer

intent.setPackage("com.sec.android.app.videoplayer");

I take it back. That might cause a problem on some phones. It worked on S4. However,It might not work on others. More work needs to be done.

its up to the user to make that choice. – Mitch Wheat Jan 18 '14 at 02:14
There has to be a hint that you can set in the intent to auto choose that. I am looking for that. – Sam Jan 18 '14 at 02:16
your app. shouldn't go against the user's wishes. – Mitch Wheat Jan 18 '14 at 02:17
It is requirement. I found that you can set the package name and that solved my problem ( intent.setPackage("com.sec.android.app.videoplayer");) Thanks – Sam Jan 18 '14 at 02:39
