Automatically play music

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm searching for a way to play music automatically when my device connects to 
my car.

There should be a way with custom intents but I don't know whath to write there.

I'm using built-in music app

This is a feature of my app.  You can launch an app, a Pandora station, or 
create a shortcut to a music playlist that will ply upon connect.  Please read 
the manual.  Have you installed my app?

You don't need a custom intent to play music.  Just use the create shortcut 
menu item and select a music playlist.  When the device connects the music 
player will launch and the playlist will play.  The app launcher was leveraged 
from AppAlarm Pro.  They have some documentation here:

ore-146 .  It is mostly just step 3: Tap “App To Launch” –> “Create 
Shortcut” –> “Music Playlist,” then select your playlist.

Thanks for the info, it works :)

The only point is that using a playlist shortcut restart it, when using random 
playlist of all library the random will replay songs already played because of 
restarting playlist

Maybe it could be interesting to be able to launch two apps or more, for 
example play music then launch navigation app.
