I was creating a simple app which stream videos from net and I made it but now I want to change the code so that I can play video files from my SDCard

original code:

Uri vidFile = Uri.parse("MY SITE HERE");
VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.VideoView);
videoView.setVideoURI(vidFile);
videoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
videoView.start();

So please help me with changing the code so that it can play videos from my mobile memory card.

    The videoView.setVideoURI(vidFile); method needs to be replaced by the videoView.setVideoPath(path); method.
    Here path specifies the path of the video file on the SDCARD.

    This path can be easily retrieved using the MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA property of that video file or by just entering the songpath statically as /sdcard/songname.
