Hii Greg, How to create a url to raw via android:resource://package/raw/name as you have said?
as setDataSource(url) is not working i copied a file to local path and tried passing that path to setDataSource(path),even that gives error Please tell me how to copy file directly to raw from url. This is very urgent for me.
