How to play videos from SD Card
android, android-videoview
Solution
The `videoView.setVideoURI(vidFile);` method needs to be replaced by the `videoView.setVideoPath(path);` method. Here path specifies the path of the video file on the `SDCARD`.
This path can be easily retrieved using the `MediaStore.Video.Media.DATA` property of that video file or by just entering the songpath statically as `/sdcard/songname`.
Problem
I was creating a simple app which stream videos from net and I made it but now I want to change the code so that I can play video files from my SDCard original code: ``` Uri vidFile = Uri.parse("MY SITE HERE"); VideoView videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.VideoView); videoView.setVideoURI(vidFile); videoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this)); videoView.start(); ``` So please help me with changing the code so that it can play videos from my mobile memory card.
