java.lang.ClassCastException: com.twilio.video.VideoTextureView cannot be cast to android.widget.VideoView

Question

Does anyone have any information on how to get a broadcast link from the Twilio API?

I want to stream video with VideoTextureView . I tried to do it with the code below, but I couldn't find a broadcast link with the Twilio API.

I'm receiving the following error:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: com.twilio.video.VideoTextureView cannot be cast to android.widget.VideoView

My code:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    private ImageButton button, button1, button2;
    private GridLayout gridLayout;
    private ImageView circle, dislike, like;
    private VideoView videoView;
    private String videoPath;
    private VideoTextureView videoTextureView;
    private Uri uri;


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

        button = findViewById(R.id.circle);
        button1 = findViewById(R.id.dislike);
        button2 = findViewById(R.id.like);
       
        circle = findViewById(R.id.imageView);
        dislike = findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
        like = findViewById(R.id.imageView3);

        circle.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        dislike.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
        like.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);

        videoView = findViewById(R.id.video_view_top_right);
        Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://"+getPackageName()+"/"+R.raw.video);
        videoView.setVideoURI(uri);

        button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Circle", 
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
        button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Dislike", 
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
        button2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener()
        {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
               Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "Like", 
                   Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
               findViewById(R.id.imageView);
            }
        });
    }
}

Stream video in android VideoView and use screencast API of Twilio to broadcast your video. Twilio's VideoTextureView is for showing the camera view or screen. Follow the link below,
