Android-Media Player

Question

Hi,

I am new to android.I am trying to play a video from sdcard.

this is the sample code I have used..

  public class videoa extends Activity {
 /** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.setContentView(R.layout.main);

    VideoView videoView = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.videoView);
    MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);
    videoView.setMediaController(mc);
    // (1) Web
    //videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(
    //"http://www.bogotobogo.com/Video/sample.3gp"));
    //"http://www.bogotobogo.com/Video/sample.mp4"));
    //"http://www.bogotobogo.com/Video/sample.mov"));

    /* (2) SD card */
    //videoView.setVideoPath("/sdcard/sample.3gp");
    videoView.setVideoPath("/sdcard/robot.avi");
    //videoView.setVideoPath("/sdcard/sample.mov");
   // videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(
        //"file:///sdcard/sample.mov"));

    videoView.requestFocus();
    videoView.start();
}

}

I have launched manually And set the target as -sdcard C:/android-sdk-windows/tools/sdcard.img.

When i have launched the emulator it shows Video Cannot be Displayed.

Please help me out.

Hi

You try interchanging the 2 lines

 final String MEDIA_PATH = new String("/sdcard/robot.avi");


 VideoView videoView = (VideoView)this.findViewById(R.id.videoView);
 MediaController mc = new MediaController(this);

 videoView.setVideoPath(MEDIA_PATH);

 videoView.setMediaController(mc);

 videoView.requestFocus();
 videoView.start();
