I'm trying to play a video in a VideoView and I'm failing miserably. I'm working in an Eclipse emulator and am half expecting it not to work there, but when I install my app on my Android phone (version 2.2.1) it also fails. The error message I get is "Cannot play video. Sorry, this video cannot be played." The video is in the Raw folder. Below is my code. parsedData[3].toString() is the name of the video (without the 3gp extension) which is being extracted from a database call. What am I doing wrong?
Code:
VideoView videoview = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView);
videoview.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
String path = "android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/R.raw/" + parsedData[3].toString();
videoview.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(path));
videoview.requestFocus();
