Question

Here is my code. In this if I launch the intent with video url it play’s while it doesn’t play’s in videoview is there any way to get it working in VideoView

VideoView mVideoView = new VideoView(this);
String videoURL = "video_url";
mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(videoURL));

setContentView(mVideoView);

while this native player plays video

Intent theIntent = new Intent();
theIntent.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(videoURL), "video/*");

I tested this on device also

Try below way

            VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.VideoView);
            MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
            mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
            // Set video link (mp4 format )
            Uri video = Uri.parse("mp4 video link");
            videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
            videoView.setVideoURI(video);
            videoView.start();
