copied!<p>I am trying to play a video in my app. It has to be embedded. </p> <p>I went through the <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/63692208da946ead" rel="noreferrer">"Play Video Files in Android"</a> thread.</p> <p>I am able to play my video using VideoView as mentioned in this discussion. But there are a few problems. </p> <ol> <li><p>I need full screen video, how do I stretch VideoView to full screen? Will that stretch the video too? </p></li> <li><p>I don't need the default play/forward/stop buttons at all. Basically I need continuous loop playing of the video. </p></li> </ol> <p>I tried the MediaPlayer class as in <a href="http://davanum.wordpress.com/2007/12/29/android-videomusic-player-sample-from-local-disk-as-well-as-remote-urls/" rel="noreferrer">here</a>, but it never worked. What should the string format look like if I have my video file in res/raw directory? I really don't want the video file played from sdcard. How can it be bundled along with the app? </p> <p>If any of these two approaches work, I will be better off.</p> <p>This is my code:</p> <pre><code>videoHolder = new VideoView(this); // videoHolder = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoview); LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT); videoHolder.setLayoutParams(params); videoHolder.setMediaController(new MediaController(this)); setContentView(videoHolder); // // //// I tested and found that it works fine for .wmv, .3gp and .mp4 //// videoHolder.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/video.3gp")); videoHolder.setVideoURI(Uri.parse("res/raw/demo.3gp")); videoHolder.requestFocus(); videoHolder.start(); </code></pre> <p>Strangely the commented url works (the one with sdcard). The other one does not work. I have tried many combinations from "file:// res/raw/demo.3gp" to only "demo".</p> <p>What would be the correct string to access the file?</p>
