Hi I downloaded and played the 3gp video referenced below using Android Video Player, but I can't find a way of playing it using the code below. My xml layout is defined as follow:
<VideoView
android:id="@+id/before_begin_video"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_below="@id/before_begin_title" />
I have tried this code and doesn't work, only sound is played, but no video, only a black square:
VideoView vView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.before_begin_video);
MediaController mController = new MediaController(MABeforeBegin.this);
mController.setAnchorView(vView);
Uri video = Uri.parse("https://dl.dropbox.com/s/xxxx/videoname.3gp?dl=0?client_id=xxxxxxx");
vView.setMediaController(mController);
vView.setVideoURI(video);
vView.requestFocus();
vView.start();
This code displays the media players I have on the phone:
Uri video = Uri.parse("https://dl.dropbox.com/s/xxxx/videoname.3gp?dl=0?client_id=xxxxxxx");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setType("video/*");
Intent intent0 = Intent.createChooser(intent, "Complete Action Using");
startActivity(intent0);
But when I add intent.setData(video), the file chooser displays chrome, and other webbrowsers, but no video player like above
Uri video = Uri.parse("https://dl.dropbox.com/s/xxxx/videoname.3gp?dl=0?client_id=xxxxxxx");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setType("video/*");
intent.setData(video);
Intent intent0 = Intent.createChooser(intent, "Complete Action Using");
startActivity(intent0);
Finally found a way of solving this issue :
Before : I converted .avi to .3gp - .3gp doesn't run on HTC Sensation 4g
After : converted .avi to .mp4 - totally works!!
