Android Video View - Fails to Load file from SD Card

Question

I have an activity that uses VideoView and MediaController.

I have a .mp4 file.

1. When I put the file in res/raw folder, I can play the video using Uri.parse("android.resource://<package>/" + R.raw.id_video)

2. However, when I put the same file in the filesystem, it plays properly. I use videoView.setVideoPath("/sdcard/myfile.mp4");

What is the problem?

Answer 1

hi

can u try videoview.setVideoPath("sdcard/myfile.mp4);

one question.. are u using the same video view to play the video from raw folder as well?
