Android :: Can I Play A Local Video Not On Sdcard
Jan 27, 2009
I can only get the VideoView to play videos on the sdcard, NOT local to my application. Is there a permission requirement to get this working or can it only access the sdcard?
Working: VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video); videoView.setPath("/sdcard/video.mp4");
Not Working ("Cannot Play Video"): VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.video); videoView.setPath("/data/data/com.myapp/app_files/video.mp4");
Log Errors: 01-27 15:56:14.920: ERROR/MediaPlayer(3341): Error (-4,0) 01-27 15:56:14.920: DEBUG/VideoView(3341): Error: -4,0

I plan to have a 3gp video file that will come with the installation package, it will be placed in /files/ subdirectory, and I would like to ask the native Android media player to play it when I want that.
Here is what I have planned to do/code:
Intent intent = new Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
Uri data = Uri.parse("BattlestarGalactica.3gp"); intent.setDataAndType(data,"video/3gpp"); startActivity(intent);
However, when I try to launch the lines above, I get the following error:
CODE:.............
And the video can not be played.
What am I doing wrong that is not applicable to Android platform?

I have pushed around 10 files of each image(*.png ), audio(*.mp3) and video(*.mp4 & *.3gp) after that I have restarted the emulator and when I open the gallery application I see only a few files being present in sdcard. (in my case 1 video, 2 images and 2 audio clips) .
is this a bug in emulator?
because I have written a piece of code that displays the images/audio/video . But due to above mentioned issue I'm not able to display/play the images.
snippet of implementation is as follows code...

So I have a directory on my phone with some MP3s. I put a ".nomedia" file in the directory because I don't want these files to show up in Google Play Music
When I open 'Play Music', these files show up no matter what.
I just want Google Play Music to stream files, and I want to use an alternative player for the local Mp3s.

A reboot of the phone and it now shows up... anyone know how to force this refresh to occur from without my code?

I published an application that stores data in a local database.
Now I have to publish an update to this application to fix some little bugs, but I am afraid that downloading and installing the update will delate the local database associated with the previous version.
I would like to know how the update system works. Will installing an update completely delete all the apk, files, databases associeted with the previous version?
If so, how can I avoid this in my code?

I know this is not a big deal but it is still bothersome. When I try to run video while on Yahoo's site I get message "Cannot play video - Sorry this video cannot be played." I have no issues with ESPN, Cnet, etc. I'm able to run these yahoo videos on my wife's Eris with 2.1 (v.3).
Anyone know how to deal with this issue?

I replaced my original sdcard with a sandisk 16gb card. Everything went well until I started getting these blasted read on errors. Earlymon suggested a fix from another board but I don't have a stand alone card reader so I couldn't do it that way.
I was wondering if I just backed up all my stuff from my sdcard to my iMac and then just reformatted my sdcard via the phone, would that solve my problems?

I've converted a movie to MPEG1 to view on my G1.I couldn't find it in the Gallery section, nor under MixZing's Video tab.So I went through Astro to find it.Sure enough, I see the icon for it, but when I tap the icon to view the movie I get a warning saying,"Cannot play video.Sorry, this video cannot be played."So I converted to MPEG2.Am I doing something wrong or can mpegs not be played on the G1? (I'm pretty sure they can.I once watched a downloaded TV series on it.)

I have a URL for a video file which I need to play using the native Video-player of the handset. I figured using Intent.ACTION_VIEW and setting the URI as Intent data, I am able to achieve the aforementioned on G1 except HTC hero. In case of Hero, I have to explicitly set the class Name in the Intent to start the default Video Player: intent.setClassName("com.htc.album","com.htc.album.ViewVideo")
However, I am not comfortable with this approach as it might break on other Android devices.
1. What would be the best way to play this video url via Intent, irrespective of the handset?
2. How to conditionally setClassName in Intent, specific to a Handset?
Writing a standalone Video Player for our app is NOT an option we can afford at the moment.

I'm writing a program which requires that a video be packaged with it. The only way I know of doing this is by adding the video to res/ raw/, which coincidentally renders the video useless. I've looked all over the web and the consensus seems to be you can only play streaming video, or video from a file. In the emulator if I attempt to play the video through the method used here ( http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/index.html ), all I get is audio and a black screen. I've attempted to use VideoView as well, and the same thing occurs, audio but with a black screen. There must be a way to package video with your application without needing an SD card, or having to stream the file and have the video actually play. In the words of Google, I would like to create a "seamless" experience.
