    copied!<p>Evening,</p> <p>I've just started programming with android and made a few programs and everything so I'm still kind of a novice but im trying to understand it all.</p> <p>So here's my problem, I'm trying to play a video, the thing is, I got it working when I Stream it from an URL with VideoView over the internet or when i place in on my sdcard.</p> <p>What I want to do now is play a video I've got in my res/raw folder, but it only plays audio and I don't understand why, it doesn't give any error in my logcat as far as I can see, also couldn't really find a solution with google since most of the answers are about VideoView and just put the video on your SDCard.</p> <p>Now someone told me I had to use setDisplay (SurfaceHolder) and I've also tried that but I still only get the audio.</p> <p>I hope somebody can help me to find a solution to this problem.</p> <p>VideoDemo.java</p> <pre><code>package nl.melvin.videodemo; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.media.MediaPlayer; import android.view.SurfaceHolder; import android.view.SurfaceView; public class videodemo extends Activity { public SurfaceHolder holder; public SurfaceView surfaceView; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.mac); mp.setDisplay(holder); mp.start(); } } </code></pre> <p>XML</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" &gt; &lt;SurfaceView android:id="@+id/surfaceview" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent"&gt; &lt;/SurfaceView&gt;&gt; &lt;/LinearLayout&gt; </code></pre> <p>I've also tried Uri.parse but it says it can't play the video (.mp4 format).</p>
