Question

In my application,showing video from sdcard folder or new taken video from Video intent in a VideoView in different Activity by passing file path of the video selected.

Answer 1

I came across the same problem and what worked for is adding the Internet permission to the manifest file since I am getting video from url.

This is how I am populating listview of videos.

   //assign video
    mVideosListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.videoListView);

    //create videos
    Video riverVideo = new Video("https://s3.amazonaws.com/androidvideostutorial/862009639.mp4");
    Video carsVideo = new Video("https://s3.amazonaws.com/androidvideostutorial/862013714.mp4");
    Video townVideo = new Video("https://s3.amazonaws.com/androidvideostutorial/862014159.mp4");
    Video whiteCarVideo = new Video("https://s3.amazonaws.com/androidvideostutorial/862014159.mp4");
    Video parkVideo = new Video("https://s3.amazonaws.com/androidvideostutorial/862014834.mp4");
    Video busyCityVideo = new Video("https://s3.amazonaws.com/androidvideostutorial/862017385.mp4");

    mVideosList.add(riverVideo);
    mVideosList.add(carsVideo);
    mVideosList.add(townVideo);
    mVideosList.add(whiteCarVideo);
    mVideosList.add(parkVideo);
    mVideosList.add(busyCityVideo);

    /***populate video list to adapter**/
    mVideoAdapter = new VideoAdapter(this, mVideosList);
    mVideosListView.setAdapter(mVideoAdapter);
