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..

I'm trying to access the video file under assets folder. But When I run this, it shows error message(can't play this video file). I doubt something wrong with path.
videoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.VideoView);
videoView.setVideoPath("file:///android_asset/testdoc.mp4");
videoView.start();
Use raw folder rather than asset:
String videoPath = android.resource://+ getPackageName() +/raw/testdoc";
Uri uri = Uri.parse(videoPath);
video.setVideoURI(uri);
I just wanted to run a predefined video file when a button is clicked. I have added this video file into res/raw folder in myVideApp project. Now I need to pass this path to videoView.setVideoPath() in order to play the video.
How can I access the stored video file's actual path in android. Note: I don't want to open the file. just want the actual location of the file to pass to video view.
I tried "path = this.getResources().getString(R.raw.bbc);" but its not working since it gives the path relative to the current project. but videoview needs absolute path.
Thank you,
Regards,
Robo.
Following Snippet will help you.
getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);
videoView = new VideoView(this);
videoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() +"/" + R.raw.bbc); //Don't put extension
videoView.requestFocus();
setContentView(videoView);
videoView.start();
Following are steps to access video file and to play video
Get Video Control
create media controller
Get Video path from local resorce
Set media controller to video
set path of video in video control
Set Focus
Start Video
.
VideoView videoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoViewGuide);
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource:// " + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.Guide_Video_01);
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setVideoURI(uri);
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();
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
how do i reference a video and play it using mediaPlayer and VideoViewer, when the file is in my raw folder
iv tried
videoview.setVideoPath("android.raw://com.example.movievp8");
as well as
MediaPlayer video1 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.movievp8);
once I have referenced it should i just hit video1.start();
also does anyone know where i could get like a full sample code on how to use media player for videos, just the basics.
Your code
MediaPlayer video1 = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.movievp8);
video1.start();
should works (but you will only have audio).
One way to do it is using a VideoView (where your video will be displayed) and a MediaController (to have some predefined buttons such as Play, pause, stop, etc.)
VideoView vv = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoview);
MediaController controller = new MediaController(vv.getContext());
vv.setMediaController(controller);
vv.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("android.resource://" + context.getPackageName() + "/" + videoID));
vv.start();
Remember that the simulator doesn't support video. You'll need to use a real device for testing video.
When I try to play a video on my sd card, i get the error message "Sorry, this video cannot be played". Is there anything wrong with my code? None of the commented code seems to work.
public void PlayVideo(View view)
{
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
// final String MEDIA_PATH = new String("/sdcard/yu5.mp4");
//videoView.setVideoPath(MEDIA_PATH);
//videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.fromFile(new File(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory(),"yu5.mp4")));
//videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/yu5.mp4"));
videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://www.law.duke.edu/cspd/contest/finalists/viewentry.php?file=mfog"));
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.start();
}
When i stream from the web like in the code, the video is lagging a lot.
Please use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() for the root directory of external storage, not /sdcard, which is wrong on Android 2.2+ and other devices. Here is a sample project demonstrating playing back video from external storage.
