Solution

Solved by Praful, adding Internet permission into Manifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

AndroidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.videotest"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >
    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="8" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name="com.example.videotest.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            </intent-filter>
        </activity>
    </application>

</manifest>

Problem

I have the following simple Android application. ``` package com.example.videotest; public class MainActivity extends Activity { private Button playButton; private Button clearButton; private Button stopButton; private Button defaultButton; private VideoView mVideoView; private EditText editText; private String videoAddress; private static final String TAG = "videoTest"; private String keyValue = "videoAddress"; private String defaultAddress = "rtsp://v6.cache7.c.youtube.com/CjYLENy73wIaLQlpqssvHCj9nxMYDSANFEIJbXYtZ29vZ2xlSARSBXdhdGNoYLXw9ZeX2OLcUAw=/0/0/0/video.3gp"; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); this.setRequestedOrientation(ActivityInfo.SCREEN_ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT); SharedPreferences prefs = this.getSharedPreferences(TAG, 0); videoAddress = prefs.getString(keyValue, defaultAddress); playButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button1); clearButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button2); stopButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button3); defaultButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button4); mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView1); editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText1); editText.setText(videoAddress); defaultButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View arg0) { editText.setText(defaultAddress); SharedPreferences appSettings = getSharedPreferences(TAG, 0); SharedPreferences.Editor prefEditor = appSettings.edit(); prefEditor.putString(keyValue, defaultAddress); prefEditor.commit(); } }); stopButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View arg0) { mVideoView.stopPlayback(); } }); playButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View arg0) { videoAddress = editText.getText().toString(); SharedPreferences appSettings = getSharedPreferences(TAG, 0); SharedPreferences.Editor prefEditor = appSettings.edit(); prefEditor.putString(keyValue, videoAddress); prefEditor.commit(); //PlayRtspStream("rtsp://10.0.0.32:5004/aac5.sdp"); PlayRtspStream(videoAddress); } }); clearButton.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View arg0) { editText.setText(""); SharedPreferences appSettings = getSharedPreferences(TAG, 0); SharedPreferences.Editor prefEditor = appSettings.edit(); prefEditor.putString(keyValue, ""); prefEditor.commit(); } }); } private void PlayRtspStream(String rtspUrl){ mVideoView.setVideoPath(rtspUrl); //mVideoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(rtspUrl)); mVideoView.requestFocus(); mVideoView.start(); } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present. getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu); return true; } } ``` AndroidManifest.xml File ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.videotest" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="8" /> <application android:allowBackup="true" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > <activity android:name="com.example.videotest.MainActivity" android:label="@string/app_name" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest> ``` when I run the application and set the videopath of the videoview to the default address, i get the prompt "Cannot Play Video". Here is the logcat file. ``` 03-07 21:09:51.305: D/MediaPlayer(20031): Couldn't open file on client side, trying server side 03-07 21:09:51.305: E/MediaPlayer(20031): Unable to to create media player 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): Unable to open content: rtsp://v6.cache7.c.youtube.com/CjYLENy73wIaLQlpqssvHCj9nxMYDSANFEIJbXYtZ29vZ2xlSARSBXdhdGNoYLXw9ZeX2OLcUAw=/0/0/0/video.3gp 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): java.io.IOException: setDataSource failed.: status=0x80000000 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.media.MediaPlayer._setDataSource(Native Method) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(MediaPlayer.java:958) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(MediaPlayer.java:946) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(MediaPlayer.java:899) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.widget.VideoView.openVideo(VideoView.java:236) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.widget.VideoView.setVideoURI(VideoView.java:198) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.widget.VideoView.setVideoURI(VideoView.java:188) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.widget.VideoView.setVideoPath(VideoView.java:184) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at com.example.videotest.MainActivity.PlayRtspStream(MainActivity.java:109) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at com.example.videotest.MainActivity.access$6(MainActivity.java:108) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at com.example.videotest.MainActivity$3.onClick(MainActivity.java:85) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.view.View.performClick(View.java:4204) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.view.View$PerformClick.run(View.java:17355) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.os.Handler.handleCallback(Handler.java:725) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:92) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.os.Looper.loop(Looper.java:137) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at android.app.ActivityThread.main(ActivityThread.java:5041) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invokeNative(Native Method) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:511) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit$MethodAndArgsCaller.run(ZygoteInit.java:793) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:560) 03-07 21:09:51.305: W/VideoView(20031): at dalvik.system.NativeStart.main(Native Method) 03-07 21:09:51.315: D/VideoView(20031): Error: 1,0 ``` Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
