5-Step learning to play video with Videoview

We can imagine ImageView can display pictures, and Videoview is used to show the video
To play a video using Videoview, follow these steps
"1" defines videoview in the interface layout

<linearlayout xmlns:android="Http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"  Xmlns:tools="Http://schemas.android.com/tools"android:layout_width="Match_parent"  android:layout_height="Match_parent"android:orientation="Vertical"  Tools:context=". Mainactivity ">                      <videoview  android:id  = "@+id/videoview"  android:layout_width  = "match_parent"  android:layout_height  = "0DP"  android:layout_weight  = "1" />     <buttonandroid:id="@+id/button"android:text="Play"  Android:layout_width="Wrap_content"android:layout_height="Wrap_content" />                                 </linearlayout>

"2" invokes the following two methods to load the specified video

Setvideopath (String path), video under load path
Setvideourl (URL URL); Loads the video corresponding to the URL.

  mVideoView.setVideoPath(Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()+"/aa.mp4");

"3" permission

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

"4" Call
Start (), Stop (), pause () control playback
"5" In practice often combines the Mediacontroller class, which provides a friendly image control interface to control video playback;

mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(MainActivity.this));

The complete program code is as follows

 Public  class mainactivity extends Activity {    PrivateVideoview Mvideoview;PrivateButton Mbutton;@Override    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedinstancestate) {Super. OnCreate (Savedinstancestate);        Setcontentview (R.layout.activity_main);        mvideoview= (Videoview) Findviewbyid (R.id.videoview);        mbutton= (Button) Findviewbyid (R.id.button); Mbutton.setonclicklistener (NewView.onclicklistener () {@Override             Public void OnClick(View v) {//Get sdcard aa.mp4 video files below                //Two ways to call//File videofile =new file ("/mut/extsdcard/dcim/camera/20150915_160202.mp4");//Mvideoview.setvideopath (Videofile.getabsolutepath ());Mvideoview.setvideopath (environment.getexternalstoragedirectory () +"/20150915_160202.mp4"); Mvideoview.setmediacontroller (NewMediacontroller (mainactivity. This));            Mvideoview.start ();    }        }); }}
