VideoView with Cookies (or Headers)

Question

I am trying to use android.widget.VideoView to stream content. I need to ensure that when using setVideoURI(Uri) that VideoView will include Cookies from prior HttpClient calls. I see in the source that there is setVideoUri(Uri,Headers) but this has a @hide JavaDoc annotation and won't compile.

So, anyway to pass cookies or headers with the HTTP requests made by VideoView?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I had the same issue. You can manually set the header object, or any other private feild for that matter, using a class called Field (click for API DOC).

VideoView videoView = (VideoView) fl.findViewById(R.id.vidAttachmentPreview);  
videoView.setVideoURI("http://youURL.com");

try {
    Field field = VideoView.class.getDeclaredField("mHeaders");
    field.setAccessible(true);
    field.set(videoView,  headerHashMap);
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}

// the rest is just standard VideoView stuff
MediaController mc = new MediaController(LoopThreadActivity.this);
mc.setAnchorView(videoView);
videoView.setMediaController(mc);
videoView.start();

I've tested this and it works.

This code is VideoView work process Open file explore,go to a mnt and sdcard after that ckick the button (push a file onto device) store the data.clock on run button

This code is a main.xml file

<LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <VideoView
        android:id="@+id/videoView"
        android:layout_width="300dp"
        android:layout_height="300dp" />

</LinearLayout>

This code is video.java file

public class VideoActivity 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);
//videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("http://www.mediafire.com/?trc33d4yma3rkv3.mp4"));
         videoView.setVideoPath("/sdcard/movie.mp4");
        videoView.requestFocus();
        videoView.start();
  }
}

This is manifest file permission code

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" ></uses-permission>

Answer 3

Extract classes VideoView and Metadata from SDK. Then, you will be able to call setVideoURI(Uri uri, Map<String, String> headers) on your own VideoView class.

Note that metadata are not extracted because mp.getMetadata(MediaPlayer.METADATA_ALL, MediaPlayer.BYPASS_METADATA_FILTER) is not accessible but you can try with MediaMetadataRetriever
