Link to file paths stored locally on phone (video links)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What is the feature you want?

I want the ability to insert file path links that can be opened/played natively 
on the phone, such as video captured on the phone.

How important is it to you?

Extremely important because I think video is the best way to remember, in my 
humble opinion.

Do you think other people also want this feature and why?

Yes, because video is an important method to remembering things. The fact that 
this way will enable the user to call up videos s/he has captured her/himself 
without using up any bandwidth is a homerun.

Needs to see if I can apply the trick I have done in the "About" dialog.
Also, it shouldn't have side effect that prevent "Click to reveal answer".

I tried to add the link path handling in the code. It works well for linking to 
a website or a video in website. But it will crash for local files. If you have 
some video player that handles it, it will open. But the stock player can't do 
it.
It might requires some special URL or something magic to get it work.
So at meantime, I don't see a way to do it.

I wouldn't mind using a video player that works with it...

I don't know which video player. On my phone, my email client will open the 
link.
file:///sdcard/a.mp4
The bigger problem is that if there is no app handling the file:///, AnyMemo 
will crash and unfortunately I can't catch this crash at all.

Which email client is that? Can I try this out for myself, or is it not
implemented in current versions?

I am using the TouchDown email client. It will try to download the mp4 file 
when I click on the link on the experimental version.

I attached the exprimental version in case you wan to try.
Add tag like this will open your web browser
<a href="http://www.google.com">Click it</a>
Add link like this, it will open my email client.
<a href="file:///sdcard/a.mp4">Click it again</a>

Thanks for the attachment, man. but I don't think it works for me. I even
configured my account for touchdown, and when I press on the link, it just
repeats what the link says.

so, in this case, it says click it again; it doesn't open up the video.

Hey man,

How are you doing? I hope you are doing well.

Listen, I tried this experimental version to link to youtube videos, since
that is a quick solution to linking to a video I took for a flashcard.

I was just wondering if this version is stable in terms of audio recordings
because I depend on that feature heavily.

Also, is there a quicker way to add in those tags for URLs, much like you
have for adding "BR"?

Thanks in advance.

I still haven't figured out how to make AnyMemo not crash if the link is 
invalid.
The problem is that 
<a href="www.google.com">Click it</a> is invalid and will crash AnyMemo.

<a href="http://www.google.com">Click it</a> is valid can can be handled.
