Hosting the video online is not possible nor is using an SD card a realistic solution to my issue… Due to several factors such as the likely hood that the SD cards would disappear.

So I found this, and this says it’s possible: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5475436/584994

But I can’t seem to get the FileInputStream correct… Under the package explorer my file is located under AppName->res->drawable->overview_animatic.mp4

and the string I am passing to FileInputStream is “/res/drawable/overview_animatic.mp4” am I doing this incorrectly?

Does the solution in the above link no longer work?

Is there a better way to play an internal video?
