Apps VideoView issue.

[OberSchutze]

Hello I am having an issue with a small application that I am making. The APK compiles and I am not receiving any errors, however when I go to open the application up it does not show up in my application list despite it saying it installed.

Here is my JAVA and XML files.

[HIGH]package com.AnVideoView;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.VideoView;

public class AnVideoView extends Activity {

String SrcPath = "/sdcard/Video/video.mp4";

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
VideoView myVideoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.myvideoview);
myVideoView.setVideoPath(SrcPath);
myVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
myVideoView.requestFocus();
myVideoView.start();
}
}[/HIGH]

</LinearLayout>[/HIGH]

Hmmm.. this is a tricky bug. I'll study this and if I find something wrong, I will let you know. I am taking programming classes in java and C++, so I'm new to the developing world, but I will be of as much assistance as possible!

I've had a similar issue when I tried installing QPST.apk on my phone. Installed correctly, but it showed as a system app, so it did not show up on my apps list

On a side note, is is possible to embed a mp4 into an application so that the whole thing is self contained?

Can you post your manifest file?

I changed the minsdk to 15 and that seemed to have fixed the problem. Now I want to just have a stop play option without the forward or back and embed the video file into the apk. Is it even possible to embed a mp4 into a apk file?

EDIT: I was able to embed the video file into the APK, I am still stuck on making the control just have a stop and play button though.
