Video Player
Unlike in audio players, here we use VideoView factor and MediaController class for the same actions that were discussed in audio player.
The VideoView brings the video in the app and plays them, MediaController is responisible for the playback options.
Make an android application and use names like VideoPlayerExample. By making a raw folder in res directory, you can add any video file.
Code
activity_main.xml
<![CDATA[
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp">
<VideoView
android:id="@+id/vdVw"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center" />
</RelativeLayout>
In the main activity file, from \java\com.tutlane.videoplayerexample path,
open MainActivity.java, type the code that is written below:
MainActivity.java
package com.tutlane.videoplayerexample;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.MediaController;
import android.widget.VideoView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
VideoView videoView =(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.vdVw);
//Set MediaController to enable play, pause, forward, etc options.
MediaController mediaController= new MediaController(this);
mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView);
//Location of Media File
Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.video1);
//Starting VideView By Setting MediaController and URI
videoView.setMediaController(mediaController);
videoView.setVideoURI(uri);
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();
}
}
