Below is my Code :
package com.example.videoplayer;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.ProgressDialog;
import android.media.MediaPlayer;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.VideoView;
public class VideoPlayerActivity extends Activity {
String TAG = "com.example.VideoPlayer";
ProgressDialog progDailog;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_video_player);
final VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView1);
videoView.setVideoPath("http://www.ebookfrenzy.com/android_book/movie.mp4");
MediaController mediaController = new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new
MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() {
@Override
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
progDailog.dismiss();
Log.i(TAG, "Duration = " + videoView.getDuration());
}
});
videoView.start();
progDailog = ProgressDialog.show(this, "Please wait ...", "Retrieving data ...", `enter code here`true);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
// Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.video_player, menu);
return true;
}
}
Check out this :
Play http videos in VideoView
This is my code :
public static void getVideoFromHttp(String urlPath) {
try {
// Start the MediaController
MediaController mediacontroller = new MediaController(mContext);
mediacontroller.setAnchorView(mVideoview);
// Get the URL from String VideoURL
Uri mVideo = Uri.parse(urlPath);
mVideoview.setMediaController(mediacontroller);
mVideoview.setVideoURI(mVideo);
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Error", e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
mVideoview.requestFocus();
mVideoview.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
// Close the progress bar and play the video
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
mVideoview.start();
}
});
mVideoview.setOnCompletionListener(new OnCompletionListener() {
public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mp) {
}
});
}
Thanks
Don't do everything in the UI thread because it takes a lot of time. Do everything in AsyncTask
and things will work out fine.
For beginners, this link describes how could you do it in AsyncTask
.
Define a class which extends the AsyncTask
:
public class BackgroundAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<String, Uri, Void> {
Integer track = 0;
ProgressDialog dialog;
protected void onPreExecute() {
dialog = new ProgressDialog(PlayVideo.this);
dialog.setMessage("Loading, Please Wait...");
dialog.setCancelable(true);
dialog.show();
}
protected void onProgressUpdate(final Uri... uri) {
try {
media=new MediaController(PlayVideo.this);
video.setMediaController(media);
media.setPrevNextListeners(new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// next button clicked
}
}, new View.OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
finish();
}
});
media.show(10000);
video.setVideoURI(uri[0]);
video.requestFocus();
video.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer arg0) {
video.start();
dialog.dismiss();
}
});
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IllegalStateException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SecurityException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
@Override
protected Void doInBackground(String... params) {
try {
Uri uri = Uri.parse(params[0]);
publishProgress(uri);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
}
Then, in the onCreate()
method, just call the execute()
method of this BackgroundAsynchTask
:
video = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video);
new BackgroundAsyncTask().execute("link-to-the-video");
