MediaPlayer / VideoView无法播放视频？

Question

I'm new to android development, self taught so can expect a few errors here and there but none so irritating as this. I've looked over my code a thousand times, searched high and low across multiple websites, books and forums for an answer but I still get the same error so this is a last resort.

I just want to play a hardcoded path to a video in an activity, which is part of my video portfolio app. (The hardcoded path is just for testing, later I will call each video from the related button press, but only after I sort the player out!).

Here is my code:

String path = "android.resource://mysite/res/raw/video1"; 

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { 
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_videoplayer);

    VideoView view = (VideoView) this.findViewById(R.id.vv);
    MediaController controller = (MediaController) new MediaController(this);

    controller.setMediaPlayer(view);
    view.setVideoPath(path);
    view.requestFocus();
    view.start();
}

This snippet is inside my VideoPlayer class, where vv is the VideoView in the XML and video1 is the video to be played. The video is h.264 mp4, 1 minute long and 3mb in size and can be played normally through the default player.

XML:

<VideoView
    android:id="@+id/vv"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center" />

The activity loads but returns the error "Can't play this video".

Any help I greatly appreciate.

Answer 1

     VideoView view = (VideoView) this.findViewById(R.id.vv);

        view.setVideoPath(path);
        view.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
        view.requestFocus();
        view.start();

Use like this. hope this will give you some solution.

Answer 2

According Android's official documentation Video decoding support for MP4(h.264) added from android 3.0+, so I think you are playing this video on version below 3.0. Try it on the device which has android os version 3.0+.

Answer 3

Try this..

video0=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.vv);
video0.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
video0.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("android.resource://" +getPackageName()+ "/" +R.raw.video1));
video0.requestFocus();
video0.start();

Answer 4

Did you try
MediaController mc = new MediaController(this); mc.setAnchorView(vv);
