Mod Foobar2000 for Android to play online stream by Tasker or Automate

Principle

This mod will let the intents that use the RUN action do the same URL/stream open flow as the Play Location page does, that page can accept the online music/radio stream instead of the original VIEW intent handles.

Tools required

Build the apk

D:\apk_reverse\apktools\apktool.bat b .\foobar2000-mobile-v2.25.8-arm32

Use JADX GUI checks the classes.dex

Location like this:
```
foobar2000-mobile-v2.25.8-arm32\build\apk\classes.dex
```
1. Check your source code’s com/foobar2000.foobar2000.MainActivity
  
  Find handleIntent Method, you should see additional if condition like this:
2. Check com/foobar2000.foobar2000.PlayLocationNSI Find playLocation Method, it should be public
  
  Find doPlay() Method, playLocation(url) should displays correctly

Sign the apk use debug keystore

D:\AndroidSDK\build-tools\35.0.0\apksigner.bat sign --ks ~\.android\debug.keystore --ks-pass pass:android --key-pass pass:android --ks-key-alias androiddebugkey .\foobar2000-mobile-v2.25.8-arm32\dist\foobar2000-mobile-v2.25.8-arm32.apk

Push and install

adb.exe install --user 0 .\foobar2000-mobile-v2.25.8-arm32\dist\foobar2000-mobile-v2.25.8-arm32.apk

Test and Enjoy!
