    copied!<p>First of all I have tried everything I could find on the web, but without success.</p> <p>I'm trying to reproduce a video on AVD emulator (version 2.3.3). I've used both VideoView and MediaPlayer. The main problem is the following:</p> <p>If I put some video file (mp4 format) on the directory res/raw and I try to run something (also an avoid program with only an Hello World TextView) in the console the running process blocks it on this line</p> <pre><code>Uploading Test.apk onto device 'emulator-5554' </code></pre> <p>I think that is a space problem (the video is 139MB) but also with a small wmv format (about 6MB) I've had the same issue.</p> <p>I also have used <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2239330/how-to-increase-storage-for-android-emulator-install-failed-insufficient-stora">this solution</a> but it works only with mp3 file (even if only once).</p> <p>Finally I've upgrade the RAM device up to 1024MB. Still nothing.</p> <p>The code use in the onCreate method is</p> <pre><code>MediaPlayer mPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.video_file); mPlayer.start(); </code></pre> <p>I use eclipse IDE in Windows 7 x64.</p> <p>Thanks for your attention.</p> <p>P.s.
