Using remote config from firebase to change URL of videoView

What I need is: Change the URL of the video view whenever I change the remote config parameters!
I'm making a tv channel app using video view.
   to show the TV channels if the format of the url .m3u8 is used, but this link changes daily so IMPOSSIVEL I stay updating my application every day that change this link .... so I discovered (actually I remembered) that in firebase there is a option "remote config" that it is possible to change these links ...
   
  What do I want anyway? How can I do this by using the remote config
package tk.protvapp.protv;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.VideoView;
public class FoxActivity extends Activity {
VideoView myVideoView;
View v;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_fox);
myVideoView = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.videofox1); MediaController mc = new MediaController(this); myVideoView.setMediaController(mc);
final String urlStream = "//Search the link in remote config for paste here";
myVideoView.start();
myVideoView.findFocus();
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { #Override public void run() { myVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(urlStream)); } });
}
public void voltarhomefox(View v){
Intent intent = new Intent(FoxActivity.this, HomeActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}

How to use Firebase Remote Config for this?

How can I change whenever I need the Videoview URL using the Google Firebase Remote config method?
More details: I have a VideoView that uses URL to show video or stream but I want to be able to change these links whenever I need. Without having to create a new application update!
My activity:
package tk.protvapp.protv;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.Window;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.VideoView;
public class FoxActivity extends Activity {
VideoView myVideoView;
View v;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_fox);
myVideoView = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.videofox1); MediaController mc = new MediaController(this); myVideoView.setMediaController(mc);
final String urlStream = "//Search the link in remote config for paste here";
myVideoView.start();
myVideoView.findFocus();
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() { #Override public void run() { myVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(urlStream)); } });
}
public void voltarhomefox(View v){
Intent intent = new Intent(FoxActivity.this, HomeActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
}
}
My Layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:ads="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#000"
tools:context="tk.protvapp.protv.FoxActivity">
<Button
android:id="#+id/button2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:onClick="voltarhomefox"
android:text="VOLTAR" />
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/button2"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:id="#+id/frameLayout">
<VideoView

You can define a key in Remote Config Dashboard
video_url = "https://foo.com/video.mp4"
and fetch the value of video_url from your code using the getString("video_url") method.

The problem seems to be related to Vitamio. How can I get around this crash? Thank you very much.

After 2 days,I found a solution :)
So the first thing I should say is that I was confused!
You probably need to use Vitamio like I did.Now the thing is that if include the library as local library project (File-New-Import module) it should work fine, but if include it by adding the dependency ( compile 'me.neavo:vitamio:4.2.2') in the build.gradle, the above problem occurs.

When you use https://url replce into http://url because its supports only
MMS RTSP (RTP, SDP), RTMP HTTP limited protocol and library add as module in your project.

RTSP Url of video not working in VideoView

I am creating video playing app from Youtube. I have extracted Video Data using gdata API and got 3gp url for format 1,6. This i got extracted from Media:Group --> Media:content element.
My Device Info Android 4.0.3 and Model Micromax P350.
These video is working in VLC Player but not in VideoView enter code here in my app. Here is my code:
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/LinearLayout01"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:paddingLeft="2px"
android:paddingRight="2px"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:paddi`enter code here`ngTop="2px"
android:paddingBottom="2px"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<VideoView
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:id="#+id/VideoView" />
</LinearLayout>
MainActivity.java
package com.example.firstapp;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.VideoView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
VideoView videoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.VideoView);
//MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
// mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
//videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setVideoPath("rtsp://v1.cache8.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQneb1Sj_PGnoRMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp");
videoView.start();
}
}

Must be your video is not in one of the supported formats:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

//play rtsp stream
private void PlayRtspStream(String rtspUrl){
videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(rtspUrl));
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();
}

Android VideoView prevent on video change

I am using a VideoView to play Mp4 video. There are buttons in the screen and on the click event I need to change the video of the VideoView and play. I want this transition to be as smooth as possible. This is the code I was using in the button onclick handler.
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://"+getPackageName() + "/"+R.raw.myvideo);
mainVideoView.setVideoURI(uri);
mainVideoView.requestFocus();
mainVideoView.start();
I was testing this on my phone with Andorid 4, everything worked fine. But when I tested it in a phone with Android 2.2, I was shocked to see on click of the button the videoview part of the screen becomes black for a second and the new video starts. I cant afford that delay in my application.

Try this code
This is a java code
package com.android.video;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.VideoView;
public class VideoActivity extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
this.setContentView(R.layout.main);
VideoView videoView = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.videoView);
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
videoView.setMediaController(mc);
//videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://www.mediafire.com/?trc33d4yma3rkv3.mp4"));
videoView.setVideoPath("/sdcard/movie.mp4");
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();
}
}
This is main.xml
<LinearLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<VideoView android:id="#+id/videoView" android:layout_width="300dp" android:layout_height="300dp" />
</LinearLayout>
This is manifest file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
