Android: how to play video from assets?

Question

I am making an application in which I have to show video from assets folder in a Fragment. Can anyone help me do this? Do I need to use VideoView in XML?

Answer 1

VideoView view = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoView);
String path = "android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.video_file;
view.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
view.start();

It's AkashG's code, but I remember that R here is not from the Android class. It's from your own project.
