Why is the videoview so slow?

android, android-videoview, video-streaming

Solution

Instead of directly placing the code why not subclass it?

private class DownloadImageTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Bitmap> {
    protected Bitmap doInBackground(String... urls) {
        return loadImageFromNetwork(urls[0]);
    }

    protected void onPostExecute(Bitmap result) {
        mImageView.setImageBitmap(result);
    }
}

Just replace your stuff inside doInBackground method. If you have anything to do after it's executed place in onPostExecute.

Problem

I put a videoview in my application and it works fine but when you open up the page it take forever for it to load/buffer. Is there anyway I can fix this. I mean it's a 3 second video. It shouldn't take a long time to load. Right? code: ``` package jslsoftware.co.nr; import android.app.Activity; import android.net.Uri; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.VideoView; import android.widget.MediaController; public class videoview1 extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.video1); Uri vidFile = Uri.parse("http://jslserver1.yolasite.com/resources/3gp_videos/Animal.3gp"); VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView1); videoView.setVideoURI(vidFile); videoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this)); videoView.start(); } } ``` Thanks
