Re: [android-developers] Re: No Video but audio present when using MediaPlayer on the emulator
In your AVD Manager, you define how large of a virtual SD card to have in the AVD. It's called SD Card. You then transfer files to it using the DDMS File Manager, or via the adb push command.

[android-developers] Re: No Video but audio present when using MediaPlayer on the emulator
Okay I got it done using the DDMS file manager. I have to say your original thoughts about reasons for the video not playing is absolutely correct. With your app I can also hear the audio but cannot see any video. I can also see the all the control buttons and the progress bar. I do not get the control buttons on my app but in my app I'm using the MediaPlayer directly - not through MediaController. I guess I will need to move to using a real device.

[android-developers] Re: No Video but audio present when using MediaPlayer on the emulator
Does anyone have any sample code for playing video. Although it could be emulator using the debugger it seems like the window is not even being created even when the Mediaplayer is turned off. I'm using a class I extended from VideoView. The surfaceCreated method does not ever get called. I'm using this view within a GridView and I cannot get any response from the OnClicked handler in the GridView. It works fine for other objects in the GridView. A working sample would be very useful to help me see what is going on. As a sidenote I have a 3.6GHz Quadcore PC. Does the emulator make use of the multiple cores?

Thanks again for the reply. I actually subscribed to your books - they are well written. I downloaded the video sample and tried to run it but the screen remains blank. However I suspect it is becuase it cannot find the file. It seems like it is designed run the file test.mp4 on an SD card on a real device. Can I make the sample work on the emulator. I just to see if the problem is really the emulator or something on in my program. I was hoping I could try out your sample to prove this.
