Can't play this video. Android videoView mp4 recorded by android device

问题

I've looked for existing potential solutions with other formats and those still responds with mentioned error.

Finally, recorded the video with the same device and used it as a resource for this app and it still doesn't work.

Devices: SGS2, lenovo a820

Video type: MPEG-4 video (video/mp4)

    videoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoView);
    videoView.setVideoPath("android.resource://raw/sample.mp4");
    videoView.start();

Please refer below code snippet...problem was with the path declaration..

 String uriPath = "android.resource://"+getPackageName()+"/"+R.raw.aha_hands_only_cpr_english;
        Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriPath);
        mVideoView.setVideoURI(uri);

Thats it...

I tried everything mentioned before but it turns out that internet permission is needed to play a mp4 file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Be sure that the decoder (target sdk) supports the video format you are using. You can use VLC Player to convert video format to the desired one. In my case, I converted the MP4 to WebM file and load it in the VideoView.

Here is how you get the file path and play your video.

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

        // Find your VideoView in your video_main.xml layout
        myVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);

        myVideoView.requestFocus();
        myVideoView.setOnPreparedListener(new OnPreparedListener() {
            // Close the progress bar and play the video
            public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) {
                progressDialog.dismiss();
                myVideoView.seekTo(position);
                if (position == 0) {
                    myVideoView.start();

        });

    }

    @Override

        super.onSaveInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
        savedInstanceState.putInt("Position", myVideoView.getCurrentPosition());
        myVideoView.pause();
    }

    @Override
    public void onRestoreInstanceState(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onRestoreInstanceState(savedInstanceState);
        position = savedInstanceState.getInt("Position");
        myVideoView.seekTo(position);
    }
}
