No Activity found to handle Intent : android.intent.action.VIEW

This is my code to play the recorded audio 3gp file

 Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
	    Uri data = Uri.parse(path);
	    intent.setDataAndType(data, "audio/mp3");
	    startActivity(intent);

But while running it in my HTC device (Android 2.2 Froyo) shows an exception:

In Galaxy tablet it's working fine. How can I resolve this issue?

Url addresses must be preceded by http://

Uri uri = Uri.parse("www.google.com");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);

throws an ActivityNotFoundException. If you prepend "http://", problem solved.

Uri uri = Uri.parse("http://www.google.com");

If you are also getting this error when trying to open a web page from your android app it is because your url looks like this:

www.google.com

instead of: https://www.google.com or http://www.google.com

add this code to your Activity/Fragment:

 public void openWebPage(String url) {

    Uri webpage = Uri.parse(url);

    if (!url.startsWith("http://") && !url.startsWith("https://")) {
        webpage = Uri.parse("http://" + url);
    }

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, webpage);
    if (intent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
        startActivity(intent);
    }
}

just pass your url to openWebPage(). If it is already prefixed with https:// or http:// then you are good to go, else the if statement handles that for you

This is the right way to do it.

	try
	{
	Intent myIntent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
	File file = new File(aFile.getAbsolutePath()); 
	String extension = android.webkit.MimeTypeMap.getFileExtensionFromUrl(Uri.fromFile(file).toString());
	String mimetype = android.webkit.MimeTypeMap.getSingleton().getMimeTypeFromExtension(extension);
	myIntent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file),mimetype);
	startActivity(myIntent);
	}
	catch (Exception e) 
	{
		// TODO: handle exception
		String data = e.getMessage();
	}

you need to import import android.webkit.MimeTypeMap;

For me when trying to open a link :

Uri uri = Uri.parse("https://www.facebook.com/abc/");
                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri);
                startActivity(intent);

I got the same error android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent

> The problem was because i didnt have any app that can open URLs (i.e. > browsers) installed in my phone. So after Installing a browser the > problem was solved.

***Lesson : Make sure there is at least one app which handles the intent you are calling ***

Answer by Maragues made me check out logcat output. Appears that the path you pass to Uri needs to be prefixed with
file:/

Since it is a local path to your storage.

You may want too look at the path itself too.

`05-04 16:37:37.597: WARN/System.err(4065): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=/mnt/sdcard/mnt/sdcard/audio-android.3gp typ=audio/mp3 }`

Mount point seems to appear twice in the full path.

If you don't pass the correct web URL and don't have a browser, ActivityNotFoundException occurs, so check those requirements or handle the exception explicitly. That can resolve your problem.

public static void openWebPage(Context context, String url) {
    try {
        if (!URLUtil.isValidUrl(url)) {
            Toast.makeText(context, " This is not a valid link", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();   
        } else {
            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            intent.setData(Uri.parse(url));
            context.startActivity(intent);
        }
    } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
        Toast.makeText(context, " You don't have any browser to open web page", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
    }
}

Check this useful method:

URLUtil.guessUrl(urlString)

It makes google.com -> http://google.com

This exception can raise when you handle Deep linking or URL for a browser, if there is no default installed. In case of Deep linking there may be no application installed that can process a link in format myapp://mylink.

You can use the tangerine solution for API up to 29:

private fun openUrl(url: String) {
    val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(url))
    val activityInfo = intent.resolveActivityInfo(packageManager, intent.flags)
    if (activityInfo?.exported == true) {
        startActivity(intent)
    } else {
        Toast.makeText(
            this,
            "No application that can handle this link found",
            Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
        ).show()
    }
}

For API >= 30 see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62535856/intent-resolveactivity-returns-null-in-api-30.

I had this same issue, so I was looking at the intent which is logged in LogCat. When viewing the video from the Gallery, it called the same Intent.View intent, but set the Type to "audio/*", which fixed my issue, and doesn't require importing MimeTypeMap. Example:

Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri data = Uri.parse(path);
intent.setDataAndType(data, "audio/*");
startActivity(intent);

If you have these error in your logcat then use these code it help me

 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
            intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(data.getLocation())), "audio/*");
            try {
                context.startActivity(intent);
            } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
                Log.d("error", e.getMessage());
            }

also

   Intent intent = new Intent(MediaStore.INTENT_ACTION_MUSIC_PLAYER);
            intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(data.getLocation())), "audio/*");
            try {
                context.startActivity(intent);
            } catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
                Log.d("error", e.getMessage());
            }

Had this exception even changed to

> "audio/*"

But thanx to @Stan i have turned very simple but usefully solution:

Uri.fromFile(File(content)) instead Uri.parse(path)

 val intent =Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
                    intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(File(content)),"audio/*")
                    startActivity(intent)

To avoid crash below 2 things need to be checked

1. Check if url starts with http or https
2. Check if device has any app that can handle url

Kotlin

if (url.startsWith("http") || url.startsWith("https")) {
    Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW,Uri.parse(url)).apply{
    // Below condition checks if any app is available to handle intent
    if (resolveActivity(packageManager) != null) {
           startActivity(this)
       }
    }
}

I have two ideas:

First: if you want to play 3gp file you should use mime types "audio/3gpp" or "audio/mpeg"

And second: you can try use method setData(data) for intent without any mime type.

First try this code inside AndroidManifest

  <application>
       
    <uses-library
        android:name="org.apache.http.legacy"
        android:required="false" />
 </application>

If this code works, so fine. But if not. Try this code from which class you want to pass the data or uri.

Intent window = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), Browser.class);
window.putExtra("LINK", "http://www.yourwebsite.com");
startActivity(window);

try checking with any Url like add

https://www.google.com

in path and start activity if its works than you are adding wrong path

instead of using Try and catch. You should use this way

val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW)
                    intent.flags = Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION
                    intent.setDataAndType(uri, type)    
startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "view action"))
