HI
i want to play a .3GP video file in android phone. i tried below code but it shows cant play video.so please tell me what i will do
This is my code
public class VideoPlay extends Activity {
private String path ;
private VideoView mVideoView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.videoplay);
path="http://www.boodang.com/api/videobb/101009_Pure.3gp";
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video);
if (path == "") {
// Tell the user to provide a media file URL/path.
Toast.makeText(
VideoPlay.this,
"Please edit VideoViewDemo Activity, and set path"
+ " variable to your media file URL/path",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
/*
* Alternatively,for streaming media you can use
* mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(URLstring));
*/
mVideoView.setVideoPath(path);
mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mVideoView.requestFocus();
}
}
}
The XML layout is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<VideoView
android:id="@+id/video"
android:layout_width="320px"
android:layout_height="240px">
</VideoView>
</FrameLayout>
Check the following code which is there in the Android SDK demo
package com.example.android.apis.media;
import com.example.android.apis.R;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.widget.VideoView;
public class VideoViewDemo extends Activity {
/**
* TODO: Set the path variable to a streaming video URL or a local media
* file path.
*/
private String path = "";
private VideoView mVideoView;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.videoview);
mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.surface_view);
if (path == "") {
// Tell the user to provide a media file URL/path.
Toast.makeText(
VideoViewDemo.this,
"Please edit VideoViewDemo Activity, and set path"
+ " variable to your media file URL/path",
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
} else {
/*
* Alternatively,for streaming media you can use
* mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(URLstring));
*/
mVideoView.setVideoPath(path);
mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
mVideoView.requestFocus();
}
}
}
videoview.xml
<VideoView
android:id="@+id/surface_view"
android:layout_width="320px"
android:layout_height="240px"
/>
This article provides code similar to your sample, though there are some differences, especially with video.start
and your sample completely missing MediaController.show
.
I suggest cleaning up your code a bit and try the suggestions found in the mentioned article. There's also some good feedback in the article discussions.
As @Peter Lillevold suggests, you should try a reference implementation of a video player first. Here are some links:
- Audio and Video
- MediaPlayer Documentation
- Android VideoView Example
Try these players with a known working video file, there is a link to some in this post. If you implement a player, and these reference videos work, but your .3gp video does not, then the problem may be that the video file itself is not encoded to standards.
