android media player shows audio but no video

Question

I am using media player to stream a video. It only plays the audio but not the video. Could anyone help? My code is below.

public class VideoViewApplication          


        

Answer 1

I had the same problem and it was due to the surface not being ready to play back video.

You should try and call playVideo() from the surfaceCreated() handler.

public void surfaceCreated(SurfaceHolder holder) {
        runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
            public void run(){
                playVideo();
            }
        });
}
