Question

I’m trying to display video in a defined VideoView in the .xml file, but the way I followed represented in the below code, doesnt work.

Please check the code and guide me.

code:

final String VIDEO_FILE_PATH = "C:\\Users\\Amr\\Downloads\\3aeshen ElLa7za.avi";

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    VideoView vv = 
            (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video_view);

    mp = new MediaPlayer();
    try {
        mp.setDataSource(VIDEO_FILE_PATH);
        mp.prepare();
        mp.start();
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    vv.setVideoPath(MEDIA_FILE_PATH);
    vv.start();
}

Your video file path should be on a SD CARD:

final String VIDEO_FILE_PATH = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory() + "/yourappdirectory/3aeshen ElLa7za.avi"
