Android Java视频直播

Question

I'm creating an application that can stream live video from an HTTP url. Is it possible to create a native Android app that can stream live videos directly? Or do I still need a media server to transcode video into a format supported by Android before it is sent from the server to Android via RTSP? Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thank you.

Answer 1

As long as you have a proper rtsp URL for example : rtsp://somewhere/vod/mp4:sample.mp4

You can open an intent by using

Intent browserIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse(your_rtsp_address));
startActivity(browserIntent);

Answer 2

use VideoView . by using VideoView.setVideoURi method you can show streaming.
