Can't play this video. Android videoView mp4 recorded by android device

Question

I've looked for existing potential solutions with other formats and those still responds with mentioned error.

Finally, recorded the video with the same device and used it as a resource for this app and it still doesn't work.

Devices: SGS2, lenovo a820

Video type: MPEG-4 video (video/mp4)

    videoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoView);
    videoView.setVideoPath("android.resource://raw/sample.mp4");
    videoView.start();

Answer 1

Please refer below code snippet...problem was with the path declaration..

 String uriPath = "android.resource://"+getPackageName()+"/"+R.raw.aha_hands_only_cpr_english;
        Uri uri = Uri.parse(uriPath);
        mVideoView.setVideoURI(uri);

Thats it...

Answer 2

I tried everything mentioned before but it turns out that internet permission is needed to play a mp4 file.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
