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

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Button btn=(Button)this.findViewById(R.id.playvideo);
        btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View view) {
                VideoView vid=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.video);
                vid.setMediaController(new MediaController(MainActivity.this));
                Uri video = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.example.tenzinthinley.video/raw/ed");
                vid.setVideoURI(video);
                vid.requestFocus();
                vid.start();
            }
        });
    }
}

Change my name if this doesn't works. 'ed' is the video file name.
