Android Question Got error msg "Sorry, this video cant be played" with good mp4

Have you copied the video file to DirRootExternal?, besides, I don't see you included that file in your APK.

How can I include the video file into the APK(thought the "release run" would include it in APK for me)? I added the line(bold) below, but still not working.

Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
vv.Initialize("vv")
Activity.AddView(vv, 10dip, 10dip, 250dip, 250dip)

File.Copy(File.DirAssets, "skyclouds_converted.mp4", File.DirRootExternal, "skyclouds_converted.mp4")

vv.LoadVideo(File.DirRootExternal, "skyclouds_converted.mp4")
vv.Play

BTW, I got the error: java.io.FileNotFoundException with the code above.

Have you added the MP4 file to your assets?, on the IDE, on the bottom right you will see a tab named FILES, click there then click on the ADD FILES button, search for your file and then compile.

I would suggest you copy the file to DirDefaultExternal, that way, when you uninstall the app you also remove that file or it will take unnecessary storage space.

Thanks a lot NJDue. That's it. It works now.
