but when i run ,I have a error that media server died . MediaPlayer Error (100,0). Please help me.Thank you!

Answer 1

You can add a error listener to video view

videoView.setOnErrorListener(this);

Then you can handle the errors gracefully in onError like

public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) 
 {
  if (what == 100)
    {
    videoView.stopPlayback();
    Intent intent = new Intent(context,ActivityToStart.class);
    startActivity(intent);
   }
}
