Yes I have tested the video ...it works without the sub-activity. (And in that case I gave the path of the song in the playvideo( ) function directly so as to check if video works). This means that this problem is actually because I am not handling the sub activity thing properly. Is it required that after returning back to VideoPlayer activity I need to refresh the screen etc..
Since you are saying that it's nothing to do with manifest file.....then what is it that causes the Video to disappear as soon as it plays?
