Playing videos in android by using videoview from remote url [duplicate]

I have managed to stream video from internet using Video View
Uri uri=Uri.parse(videoFileList[0]);
VideoView vv=(VideoView) this.findViewById(R.id.vv);
vv.setVisibility(1);
vv.bringToFront();
vv.setVideoURI(uri);
vv.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
vv.requestFocus();
But the video page displays as blank at first. Only if I click on the blank space the video view appeares.
Can any body give a solution to display it automatically?

Try this. It worked for me.
void playvideo(String url)
{
String link=url;
Log.e("url",link);
view1 = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.myVideoView);
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
mc.setMediaPlayer(view1);
view1.setMediaController(mc);
view1.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(link));
view1.requestFocus();
view1.start();
}

How to play a mp4 videos in Android through Server

I am using following code to play mp4 videos which is stored in sever.... And i am get error like this->
This Video can not be played????
Uri video = Uri.parse("http://129.0.0.....");
MediaController mediaController = null;

mVideoView.setVideoURI(video);
mVideoView.setVideoPath("http://129.0.0......");

This might be helpful to you i have used this in android 2.3.3.
public void videoPlayer(String path, String fileName, boolean autoplay){
//get current window information, and set format, set it up differently, if you need some special effects
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
//the VideoView will hold the video
VideoView videoHolder = new VideoView(this);
//MediaController is the ui control howering above the video (just like in the default youtube player).
videoHolder.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
//assing a video file to the video holder
videoHolder.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(YOUR_SERVER_VIDEOFILE_URL));
//get focus, before playing the video.
videoHolder.requestFocus();
if(autoplay){
videoHolder.start();
}
}

Always pass the mp4,3gp etc video format link in URI.Try this code:
VideoView videoView = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.videoView);
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
mc.setAnchorView(videoView);
mc.setMediaPlayer(videoView);
videoView.setMediaController(mc);
videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://hermes.sprc.samsung.pl/widget/tmp/testh.3gp"));
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();

Play mp4 Video using <Embed> tag on Android Webview

I want to play mp4 video using tag on Webview. I have few constraints for not to use HTML5 tag. I have looked code to play YouTube video on webview. But YouTube uses .flv format. I have .mp4 video to play.
Thanks in advance.

You could play the video directly, without a WebView:
VideoView videoView = new VideoView(this);
setContentView(videoView);
Bundle extra = getIntent().getExtras();
if (null != extra && extra.containsKey("url")) {
String url = extra.getString("url");
Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
videoView.setMediaController(mc);
videoView.setVideoURI(uri);
videoView.start();
}

best way to use video viewer. and play videos

Is there any way I can play a video that has been stored in the raw file, without the use of the uri. If not how do i properly set the uri. Let's say i have file named movie and I want to play it with a videoviewer. How would i do this? Also would i have to write the data to the sd card. or can i just play it from the raw.
Why cant I just do
uri uri.parse("android.resources://"+this.getApplicationContext().getPackageName()+movie);
This is what I have it as now if you could can you point out the errors to me so i know and i wont have to have this problem any more
VideoView videoview = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView1);
videoview.setKeepScreenOn(true);
videoview.setVideoPath("android.raw://com.example.movievp8");
MediaController controller = new MediaController(videoview.getContext());
videoview.setMediaController(controller);
videoview.start();
videoview.requestFocus();

Here is something that works for me:
videoResource = R.raw.some_video;
String uri = String.format("android.resource://%s/%d", context.getPackageName(), videoResource);
animationCanvas = (VideoView) ui.findViewById(R.id.animation_canvas);
animationCanvas.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
animationCanvas.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(uri));
animationCanvas.setOnCompletionListener(this);
animationCanvas.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
animationCanvas.start();
}
});
