Hi Megha,
Glad to hear about the fixed bug with recorded files, hope the bugfix
version of SDK (without broken API :)) would appear before the
contests deadline.
For the duration - I call it in this way:
videoView.setVideoPath("/the_path/videosample2.3gp");
int videoDuration = videoView.getDuration();
If I understand correctly, videoView.setVideoPath(..) blocks until the
file is loaded, so getDuration call should be ok in this case. With
this code videosample2.3gp plays rather fine (I can see the movie),
but the reported duration is -1.
I have just checked the VideoViewDemo code - it has 2 lines I do not
have in my code:
mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mVideoView.requestFocus();
Still did not have a chance to check them in runtime, probably they
would change something.
