Stream video from php server to android programmatically

android, php, stream, video

Solution

You can go through code

void playvideo(String url) 
{
     String  link=url;
     Log.e("url",link);
     view1 = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.myVideoView); 
      getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.TRANSLUCENT);

      MediaController mc = new MediaController(this); 
      mc.setMediaPlayer(view1); 

      view1.setMediaController(mc); 
      view1.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(link)); 
      view1.requestFocus(); 
      view1.start();

 }

Problem

I have a url to a video. I want to stream the video to my application. I can download the video file completely and then play it but i want that while downloading the video the video should also be played, like in youtube. I have a php server running which has the video on it. I have seen this question being asked but there were no answers for any of the questions.
