Hi Dear,
i am looking for the same solution, i need to play a local video for
the introduction of my App.
for the simplest solution i created a new activity and playing video
from sdcard as follows:
private String path = "/sdcard/intro.mp4";
private VideoView mVideoView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.videoview);
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.surface_view);
mVideoView.setVideoPath(path);
mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mVideoView.requestFocus();
mVideoView.start();
mVideoView.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener
(){
// @Override
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer arg0) {
finish();
}
});
///////////////////////////
now i have put the intro.mp4 in res/raw but dont know how can i set
its path to videoView
anybody know how to play a local video?
