Hi, I am using the code available here VideoView Example. This code runs properly on Android emulator 1.6 but not on 2.1. In 2.1 it only plays the audio and not video.

I'm trying to provide my users with the ability to use either external or internal storage. I'm displaying both images and videos (of a scientific nature). When storing the media on the SD card, all is fine. But when I store the media internally, only the images will display. No matter what I try I get various errors when trying to load ...

I am pretty new to Android and mobile development in general. I am creating an Android application that plays a video using VideoView after a button is selected.

And Absolutelayout is advise...
