Issue

I searched for that for long time,but no results,any body can help me?

Solution

First of all add intent filter to manifest

 <intent-filter>
        <action android:name"android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
        <category android:name"android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
        <data android:mimeType"video/*"/>
        <data android:scheme"content"/>
        <data android:scheme"file"/>
    </intent-filter>

Then to get video URI in you Activity:

Uri uri  getIntent().getData();
