Is it possible to stream videos in an android emulator?...
I tried streaming an mp3 file which worked perfectly...
but when i tried streaming an video file(tried 3gp,mp4) but both dint
work...
I am not sure if the format is supported in the emulator .. I get an
error "Sorry,this video cannot be played"
This is the sample code i am using..I downloaded it from Google API
Demos
package and.stream;
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;
public class videostream extends Activity {
/**
* TODO: Set the path variable to a streaming video URL or a local
media
* file path.
*/
private String path = "";
private VideoView mVideoView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.surface_view);
if (path == "") {
// Tell the user to provide a media file URL/path.
Toast.makeText(
videostream.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();
}
}
}
In the place "path" i tried pasting some url's .. but it dint work
Can someone help me with some sample codes... or streaming links which
would work.. I am not sure if those formats i am using are supported
in the emulator..
