    <p>I'm trying to play video in my application and I get <strong>Can't play this video</strong> error. I came across lot of threads regarding this. They have asked to start video once the player is prepared. I'm doing the same. But couldn't figure out the problem. Please find my code below. </p> <pre><code>public class Video extends Activity implements MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener, MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener { public VideoView vidPlayer; @Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { setup(); activateVideoPlayer(); } public void setup() { setContentView(R.layout.step_video); vidPlayer = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoPlayer); String playableUrl = "http://teststreaming7v.s3.amazonaws.com/public/7515/1374782317346-beagle_puppy_howl_640x360_448_main.mp4"; } @Override public void onPrepared(final MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) { mediaPlayer.setLooping(false); mediaPlayer.setAudioStreamType(AudioManager.STREAM_MUSIC); startPlayer(); videoLoaded = true; mediaPlayer.setOnBufferingUpdateListener(new MediaPlayer.OnBufferingUpdateListener() { // show updated information about the buffering progress public void onBufferingUpdate(MediaPlayer mp, int percent) { Log.d(this.getClass().getName(), "percent: " + percent); } }); mediaPlayer.setOnCompletionListener(new MediaPlayer.OnCompletionListener() { public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer) { progress.setProgress(100); setResult(Activity.RESULT_OK); finish(); } }); readyToPlay = true; } @Override public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) { super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig); } @Override public void onPause() { super.onPause(); pausePlayer(); } @Override public void finish() { super.finish(); overridePendingTransition(R.anim.engagement_fade_in, R.anim.engagement_fade_out); } @Override public void onBackPressed() { isGoingBack = true; setResult(Activity.RESULT_CANCELED); finish(); } @Override public boolean onError(MediaPlayer mediaPlayer, int i, int i1) { JLogger.getInstance(this).log("Video Player Error!!" + Integer.toString(i) + " / " + Integer.toString(i1)); return false; } public void startPlayer() { isPaused = false; vidPlayer.start(); } public void pausePlayer() { isPaused = true; vidPlayer.pause(); } private void activateVideoPlayer() { vidPlayer.setOnErrorListener(this); vidPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this); btnPlay.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { public void onClick(View view) { if (vidPlayer.isPlaying()) { pausePlayer(); } else { startPlayer(); } } }); vidPlayer.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(playableUrl)); vidPlayer.seekTo(step.resumePosition); } } </code></pre> <p>Device that I'm using is Motorola Atrix - Android 4.1.2 - Unlocked. I also tried in other devices like Nexus 4, 5 and Samasung Tab 2. Its working fine there.</p> <p>This is my log :</p> <pre><code>12-16 13:42:35.184 4427-4427/?

    2. CO@njzk2 doesn't this affect playing the same video in other devices like nexus 4 or 5 or samsung tablets? I'm not familiar with moov atom and other related topic. Sorry if I ask silly wrong questions. My second video doesn't play only in Motorola Atrix and LG Optimus. These are the devices I have checked.

A row detail

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
