VideoView和MediaPlayer错误（1，-2147483648）

Question

I'm trying to run a video from sdcard using VideoView. But LogCat is still showing the same error

Error (1-2147483648)

What can be? I'm missing any permission or something else?

My code is:

Java

package com.example.videoview;

import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import
android.widget.MediaController; import android.widget.VideoView;


public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        VideoView vid = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);

        vid.setVideoPath("/sdcard/MeuFilme.mp4");
        vid.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
        vid.start();
        vid.requestFocus();

    }


}

Layout

<RelativeLayout 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:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

<VideoView
    android:id="@+id/videoView"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" />

Manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.example.videoview"

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

VideoView has a bug in versions lower than Jelly Bean, Api Level 16, Android 4.1 for api < 16, VideoView is not able to read files written to disk since it reads them in a Context different from the Application and therefore does not have correct permission. You can obtain file descriptor and pass it to VideoView

Smth like this in VideoView's onError callback

File file = new File("/sdcard/MeuFilme.mp4"); InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file); mediaPlayer.setDataSource(inputStream.getFD());
