VideoView is unable to play video from Resource

I have checked other questions, and applied the solution available in them, but still it is not working.
I have placed a video in my raw folder. I am getting the video by using following method
String path = "android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/"+ R.raw.splash_video;
videoView= (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.splash_videoView);
Uri uri= Uri.parse(path);
videoView.setVideoURI(uri);
videoView.start();
The video is in mp4 format, When i run my program, it displays me Can't play the video message.
When i debug the code, i found out that, it changes the path value to this:
path= android.resource:///2131099757
If i change the path to Some URL, it successfully plays the video.
String path= "www.abc.com/someVideo.mp4"
Kindly guide me how to play mp4 video from raw

Try with this URL.
String uriPath = "android.resource://"+getPackageName()+"/raw/myvideo";
Where myvideo is your video file name.

Why i can not play gif animation in android videoView?

I'm beginner in android and want to play gif animation in android video view so my gif file in this image show:
and write this code for play that:
VideoView videoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.video_view);
videoView.setVideoPath("raw/newline.gif");
videoView.start();
but when run that app,i get error,can not play this video,why?

Try this code:
Uri uri= Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.newline);
videoView.setVideoURI(uri);
videoView.start();
Your mistake is that you can't just specify a path to resource file. In this case you have to use Uri.
But AFAIK VideoView can't play gif. So check out this and this solutions.

can't play video file using Uri in android

Hi i want to play a video file but after showing video it is showing error that can't play video file i am using Video view and path of video is
Uri uri=Uri.parse(Environment.getRootDirectory().getPath()+"/Phone storage/video.mp4");
Can some help me how to play video file that is store on my phone

You should use Uri.fromFile instead of Uri.parse

Create "raw" folder in "res", copy your video file to raw folder, in your code you should to do that :
String UrlPath = "android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/"
+ R.raw.your_video_name;
Uri video_uri = Uri.parse(UrlPath);
video.setVideoURI(video_uri);
video.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
video.requestFocus();
video.start();

Try out this way:
Uri.parse(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getAbsolutePath()+File.separator+"Phone storage"+File.separator+"video.mp4");

Android play a video with controller

I'm using the following code to play a .mp4 video on my android device. I have 3 problems,
using this code when I press the back button on the device the sound would still continoue to play
It doesn't play the video, only plays the sound!
I don't know how to get controller for the video so the user can stop the video, go back or forth on the video.
VideoView videoHolder = new VideoView(this);
videoHolder.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
MediaPlayer mediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
Uri myUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.drawable.video);
videoHolder.setVideoURI(myUri);
mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC);
mediaPlayer.setDataSource(getApplicationContext(), myUri);
mediaPlayer.prepare();
mediaPlayer.start();
videoHolder.requestFocus();
videoHolder.start();

1) Override onBackPressed in your activity:
#Override
public void onBackPressed() {
mediaPlayer.stopPlayback();
super.onBackPressed();
}
2) Is it a valid video format? Are you using emulator or a real device? If you use an emulator, try a real device instead. I recall similar issues before.
But I also notice: did you put your video in the drawable folder?
R.drawable.video
I don't think that will work, you cannot play videos from there. Use the resources/raw folder instead. btw: Audio can be played from assets folder directly, while video cannot; video can only played from the raw folder or if you copy it to the apps files folder (getFilesDir()) - or sdcard of course.
3) Why are you using a VideoView AND a MediaPlayer, instead of just a VideoView? You should get rid of the mediaPlayer and just use the VideoView. This line
videoHolder.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
looks correct and sets the media controller, with which the user can seek in the video.
Programatically you can also use seekTo() to go back and forth in a video.

VideoView videoView =(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.vv01);
//specify the location of media file
Uri myUri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.login_footage);
//Setting MediaController and URI, then starting the videoView
videoView.setVideoURI(myUri);
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();
This worked for me

To play video files using MediaPlayer class in android

I want to play video files in my application which are part of my application.
for that i create 'raw' folder in 'res' and write following code in my activity.
MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(VideoPlayer.this,R.raw.jeevrangala);
mp.start();
now i am testing it on emulator, but it does not displaying any thing.
is any one have solution to play video files in raw folder. please let me know.

Initial i was trying to play video files from raw folder. but cant run it. so i use another way to do this
VideoView video=(VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoview);
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(video);
video.setMediaController(mediaController);
//Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://play.vedio/"+R.raw.dobeernotdrugs);
video.setKeepScreenOn(true);
video.setVideoPath("android.resource://one.two/raw/"+resource);
video.start();
video.requestFocus();
resource is file name which you want to play and one.two is package name your path may as like
"android.resource://package_name/raw/file_name"

You can use this code to run video on emulator.. for me it is working
VideoView videoHolder = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video_view);
Uri video = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/"
+ R.raw.samplevideo);
videoHolder.setVideoURI(video);
videoHolder.start();
And please turn on your graphics acceleration for the emulator..
