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

this works for me

 String videoName = nameWithoutFileExtention;

 int id = getResources().getIdentifier(videoName, "raw", getActivity().getPackageName());

 final String path = "android.resource://" + getActivity().getPackageName() + "/" + id;

 vvBgVideo.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
