My client wish to stream video files from his camera storage to his android phone using only LAN connection. Is this possible? For the moment, the only thing that I can do is play a video from the storage of the phone and stream HTTP or RTSP streams video, but is it possible to stream a video file while sending it through LAN?
public class Client extends Activity {
private Socket client;
private FileInputStream fileInputStream;
private BufferedInputStream bufferedInputStream;
private OutputStream outputStream;
private Button button;
private TextView text;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
button = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
text = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
//Button press event listener
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
File file = new File("/storage/emulated/BaseAhri.jpg");
try {
client = new Socket("10.0.2.2", 4444);
byte[] mybytearray = new byte[(int) file.length()];
fileInputStream = new FileInputStream(file);
bufferedInputStream = new BufferedInputStream(fileInputStream);
bufferedInputStream.read(mybytearray, 0, mybytearray.length);
outputStream = client.getOutputStream();
outputStream.write(mybytearray, 0, mybytearray.length);
outputStream.flush();
bufferedInputStream.close();
outputStream.close();
client.close();
text.setText("File Sent");
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

And in the client side it crashes after I send. Not sure if this is an error, since my server has a problem.
Actually it is. You will need to build your own socket server in app and play video from it. Then you will have control over byte input stream and save dowloaded part to file while same part will go to mediaplayer
