I didnt get you completely. I have this activity called VideoPlayer.java, which receives the video name from the user through a listview selection. and this activity has some other controls as well like buttons and more.
Inside this activity, i have setup a video view which plays the videos, and have made it to react to button events too. this video view gets the video source as the path as shown above. however i can't always provide path like that, since there are 300 videos to choose from. what i wanted to know is, is there some way by which i can provide it with a name of the video selected. I know the video path in my project, its inside res/raw/video.mp4 so if there's anyway i can provide path like that, it would be extremely helpful if you could suggest me, how to refer to resources which i have bundled with my app in res/ forlder, that would also help.
