I tried to play a you tube movie through the media app provided in the
samples. The emulator is running fine but once i click the media apps
and try to play the video demo, i get the following error : "Sorry
this video cannot be played"
Here is the code and i am trying to play a youtube video in my
emulator:
package com.example.android.apis.media;
import com.example.android.apis.R;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.graphics.PixelFormat;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.widget.VideoView;
import android.media.
public class VideoViewDemo extends Activity {
/**
* TODO: Set the path variable to a streaming video URL or a local
media
* file path.
*/
private String path = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=0p_6ZruRC_c";
private VideoView mVideoView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.videoview);
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.surface_view);
if (path == "") {
// Tell the user to provide a media file URL/path.
Toast.makeText(
VideoViewDemo.this,
"Please edit VideoViewDemo Activity, and set path"
+ " variable to your media file URL/path",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
/*
* Alternatively,for streaming media you can use
* mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(URLstring));
*/
mVideoView.setVideoPath(path);
mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mVideoView.requestFocus();
}
}
}
