Hi,
All I'm trying to do is play the first video retrieved from the
external SD card, which on my T-Mobile G2 turns out to be the sample
video for the phone.
Now I assumed that since it plays in the phones video player, that
it'd have no problems with playing in the VideoView in my test app.
How wrong...
All I get is the audio playing. I'm pretty sure the code is all fine.
After all it's pretty simple. All I can think is that maybe the phones
video player uses some native playback function which supports more
video formats?
Can anyone else explain this behaviour?
Android Framework team?
Code:
public class Video extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
getWindow().setFlags(WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN,
WindowManager.LayoutParams.FLAG_FULLSCREEN);
setContentView(R.layout.video);
// Get the external storage state
String state = Environment.getExternalStorageState();
// Check if we can read it in
if (Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED.equals(state)==false&&
Environment.MEDIA_MOUNTED_READ_ONLY.equals(state)==false)
{
// We can't read from the memory card, so warn and return;
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this,
"The SD card is either missing or not in a
readable
state.", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
return;
}
// Get a cursor to the video files
Cursor cc = this.getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
null, null, null, null);
// Get the video column index
int videoIDColumn =
cc.getColumnIndex(MediaStore.Video.VideoColumns._ID);
// Iterate though the videos pointed to by the cursor
if (cc.moveToFirst())
{
int videoID = cc.getInt(videoIDColumn);
Uri videoPath =
Uri.withAppendedPath(MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,String.valueOf(videoID));
// Log and add a video to the view
Log.i("Video Found",videoPath.toString());
VideoView videoView =
(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.VideoTest);
videoView.setVideoURI(videoPath);
videoView.start();
}
else
{
Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this,
"Can't find a video to play.",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
toast.show();
}
}
}
