The solution is deceptively simple. You just need to format a URI that
refers to the video in the APK using the R.raw.yourvideo object
pointer:
Example for use with a VideoView (assuming you have one already named
mVideoView) is:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://
com.your.package.name/" + R.raw.videoname);
mVideoView.setVideoURI(uri);
Documentation is buried obscurely here:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/ContentResolver.html
See the detail on the openAssetFileDescriptor method, and you'll find
the info on formatting the URI.
