Intercept YouTube search

Question

What I want is to give user the ability to run my application instead of default YouTube one when any application requests YouTube search. I've tried to play with intent-filter, but with no success. Intent looks like this (from DDMS): Starting: Intent { act=android.intent.action.SEARCH flg=0x10000000 pkg=com.google.android.youtube cmp=com.google.android.youtube/.app.froyo.phone.ResultsActivity (has extras) } from pid 4766. As you see, it contains no data field, so I can't easily add <data> element to my intent filter, as I do with URL interception.

Any help appreciated.

Answer 1

For the Intent that you have listed, it is impossible for you to "intercept" it, as it specifically identifies the component (cmp=com.google.android.youtube/.app.froyo.phone.ResultsActivity).
