    <p>I'm new to android development, self taught so can expect a few errors here and there but none so irritating as this. I've looked over my code a thousand times, searched high and low across multiple websites, books and forums for an answer but I still get the same error so this is a last resort.</p> <p>I just want to play a hardcoded path to a video in an activity, which is part of my video portfolio app. (The hardcoded path is just for testing, later I will call each video from the related button press, but only after I sort the player out!).</p> <p>Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>String path = "android.resource://mysite/res/raw/video1"; public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_videoplayer); VideoView view = (VideoView) this.findViewById(R.id.vv); MediaController controller = (MediaController) new MediaController(this); controller.setMediaPlayer(view); view.setVideoPath(path); view.requestFocus(); view.start(); } </code></pre> <p>This snippet is inside my VideoPlayer class, where vv is the VideoView in the XML and video1 is the video to be played. The video is h.264 mp4, 1 minute long and 3mb in size and can be played normally through the default player.</p> <p>XML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;VideoView android:id="@+id/vv" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_gravity="center" /&gt; </code></pre> <p>The activity loads but returns the error "Can't play this video".</p> <p>Any help I greatly appreciate.</p>

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
