does any one know how to play video in video using VideoView

File f = new File("/sdcard/Sample.3gp");
byte[] videoUp=new byte[576600];
videoUp = IOUtils.toByteArray( new FileInputStream(f));
// I want to play video after i convert it into bytes
nothning makes it to play when i convert and put to videoview.

try this:
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.VideoView01);
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setMediaPlayer(videoView);
videoView.setVideoPath(path);
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();
mediaController.show();

Instead you can directly play video from sdcard as,
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
videoView.setVideoPath("/sdcard/Sample.3gp");
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();
You can use MediaController if you want to control any player options.

Play youtube video in video player

I want to play a video from youtube in my app. But i dont want to use Youtube application for that. I prefer native videoplayer. I have written the below code for that. But nothing is happening. Only a black screen is displaying.
String link= getIntent().getExtras().get("url").toString();
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoPlayer);
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
Uri video = Uri.parse(link);
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setVideoURI(video);
videoView.start();
Please help me. Thanks in advance.

just simply do it like that hope it's work:
String link= getIntent().getExtras().getString("url");
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoPlayer);
Uri video = Uri.parse(link);
videoView.setVideoURI(video);
videoView.start();

How To Play .avi videos using url in android by programing

How can I play .avi video in android? The video in coming from a url.

Hey you can try the following code to play videos using URL
String link="http://s1133.photobucket.com/albums/m590/Anniebabycupcakez/?action=view& current=1376992942447_242.avi";
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.VideoView);
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
Uri video = Uri.parse(link);
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setVideoURI(video);
videoView.start();
Using a VideoView just set the uri:
videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(videoUrl));

video doesn't play with VideoView while play's with native player

Here is my code. In this if I launch the intent with video url it play's while it doesn't play's in videoview is there any way to get it working in VideoView
VideoView mVideoView = new VideoView(this);
String videoURL = "video_url";
mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(videoURL));
setContentView(mVideoView);
while this native player plays video
Intent theIntent = new Intent();
theIntent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(videoURL), "video/*");
I tested this on device also

Try below way
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.VideoView);
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
// Set video link (mp4 format )
Uri video = Uri.parse("mp4 video link");
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setVideoURI(video);
videoView.start();
