title: Launch url in default video player on android with react native
body: <p>I found this native android code for what I am trying to achieve</p>
  <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code>Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
  intent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(newVideoPath), &quot;video/mp4&quot;);
  startActivity(intent);
  </code></pre>
  <p>(<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1572107/android-intent-for-playing-video">Android intent for playing video?</a>)</p>
  <p>But I can't figure out how to use apply it in react native with the <a href="https://reactnative.dev/docs/linking#sendintent" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Linking.sendIntent</a> api, or if that api is even capable of doing it.</p>
  <p>I also tried <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-native-video-player" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> module, but it failed to build the project with the error <code>method does not override or implement a method from a supertype</code></p>
  <p>I don't want to write a native module for this.</p>
