Question

How can i play a mp4 video from my assets or raw folder with the video intent?

whatever i try i always get :

06-25 14:32:14.070: E/AndroidRuntime(3070): android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=android.resource://mypackage/raw/myvideo }

I tryed:

   Intent tostart = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);

  String movieUrl = "file:///android_asset/myvideo.mp4";
  // String movieUrl = "android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/raw/" + "myvideo.mp4";

   tostart.setDataAndType(Uri.parse(movieUrl), "video/*");
   startActivity(tostart);  

I can only find answers where people use video’s from SD’s card, is there any option so i can use the raw or assets folder?

You can parse video Url from raw folder using this:

Uri.parse("android.resource://com.testvideo/" + R.raw.video);

then try:
