Question

I try below code to play *.mp4 video:

Uri uri = Uri.parse(path);
VideoView vv = (VideoView)findViewById(id);
vv.setVideoURI(uri);

The path are *.mp4 format.
But sometimes the video are not supported by device which due to the *.mp4 video are not standard codec of mpeg4.
Or the resolution of video higher than device supported.
I want to find them, and show some message.
How can I do to check it?

Try:

vv.setOnErrorListener(new OnErrorListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mp, int what, int extra) {
        ...
    }
});

For the list of possible error codes see the documentation: MediaPlayer
