Answer 1

Make your videos(files) in the s3 bucket public,
and use that public url, it will be accessible everywhere.

EDIT

You can use a VideoView . Here is an example:

VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
//Use a media controller so that you can scroll the video contents
//and also to pause, start the video.
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this); 
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(videoUrl));
videoView.start();

You should provide the URI (having a String url variable, where it has the url of the video) with this code Uri.parse(url) . And also be sure if the url is appropriate. Also provide the appropriate permissions to your app (since it uses the internet you will need to add <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" > in your app's Manifest.xml Finally you should define your activity MediaPlayerActivity in in your app's Manifest.xml

You can also use MediaPlayer . The Android developers site has a good tutorial here .

H.264

According to this , Android supports h.264 Baseline Profile playback. So your h.264 video is not Baseline Profile or possibly it contains an unsupported audio.

You should note that there are many h.64 flavors, so you should check your video file: http://www.niallkennedy.com/blog/2010/07/h264-video.html

Answer 2

您需要确保H.264视频在Android设备可以接受的编解码器中，否则，您需要对其进行重新编码。
