Hi

Is there a tutorial for using VideoView?

I am writing an app to play short video clips stored locally (Not streamed).

Thanks,
Paul

Hi,

Tried the code from the documentation example and got an error message from the emulator "cannot play this file".

The file was a playable mp4 file lasting about 30 seconds.

Haven't been able to get this feature to work.

Dont use the Android Emulator. It is slow, unreliable..
Use a VM (for ex Genymotion) or a real Device

Hi,

I tried installing directly to the phone, but it still gives the same error message. The mp4 file plays ok in media player(windows) though.
