Trying to play video from raw folder (VideoView)

Question

I can play a video from the Internet by inserting the URL like below:

mPath   = Uri.parse(\"http://commonsware.com/misc/test2.3gp\");
mVid.setVideoURI(mPath)         


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem. This worked for me:

Uri video = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.pac.myapp/raw/master");

So as you see you have 3 parts of the uri: 1) "android.resource://" 2) "com.pac.myapp" 3) "/raw/master"

"master" is the name of your video
