I am trying to play a selected video in another activity by passing the fileUri to the next activity. At the moment I click on (Button) findViewById(R.id.pickVid);
which calls PICK_VIDEO_REQUEST
once the video is selected the new activity opens but the screen is black. I don't think the fileUri is passed correctly, any help please?
MainActivity
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Button pickVid = (Button) findViewById(R.id.pickVid);
//choose the video
pickVid.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent chooseVideo = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT);
chooseVideo.setType("video/*");
startActivityForResult(chooseVideo, PICK_VIDEO_REQUEST);
}
});
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == PICK_VIDEO_REQUEST) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri vidFile = data.getData();
Intent playVid = new Intent(MainActivity.this, PlayVideoAct.class);
playVid.putExtra("vidFile", vidFile);
startActivity(playVid);
}
}
}
PlayVideoAct
String mStringFilePath;
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_playvideo);
mStringFilePath = getIntent().getStringExtra("vidFile");
}
public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
if (this.mPlayer == null) {
this.mPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
} else {
this.mPlayer.reset();
mPlayer.start();
}
try {
FileInputStream paramSurfaceHolder = new FileInputStream(mStringFilePath);
this.mPlayer.setDataSource(paramSurfaceHolder.getFD());
this.mPlayer.setDisplay(this.mSurfaceHolder);
this.mPlayer.prepare();
this.mPlayer.start();
this.mPlayer.pause();
Play();
} catch (Exception e) {
LogUtil.e(e, "Error in PlayVideoAct.surfaceCreate(SurfaceHolder)");
}
}
private void Play() {
mMediaPlayer.start();
if (this.mMediaPlayer.isPlaying()) {
this.mMediaPlayer.pause();
return;
}
if (this.isStop) {
this.mMediaPlayer.seekTo(this.leftPosition);
}
this.mImageViewButtonControls.setImageResource(R.drawable.pause);
}
