Use setLooping(true) on your MediaPlayer instance. –Edit– How about using setOnPrepareListener instead of setOnCompletionListener? This gives you access to the MediaPlayer object. vv.setOnPreparedListener (new OnPreparedListener() { @Override public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) { mp.setLooping(true); } });
is it possible to play video as progressive download, or by streaming, simply by using setVideoPath or setVideoURI, as in VideoViewDemo in the API samples? It should. It certainly works with MediaPlayer, and VideoView is just a ~200 line wrapper around MediaPlayer and a SurfaceView. The VideoViewDemo code suggests using setVideoURI for streaming, but I’m … Read more
It has something to do with your link and content. Try the following two links: String path=”http://www.ted.com/talks/download/video/8584/talk/761″; String path1=”http://commonsware.com/misc/test2.3gp”; Uri uri=Uri.parse(path1); VideoView video=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.VideoView01); video.setVideoURI(uri); video.start(); Start with “path1”, it is a small light weight video stream and then try the “path”, it is a higher resolution than “path1”, a perfect high resolution for the mobile … Read more
Try using setOnErrorListener: the documentation says If no listener is specified, or if the listener returned false, VideoView will inform the user of any errors., so I’m assuming if you set one and return true it will not show the user error.
The FrameLayout is the simplest ViewGroup and stacks the Views in the order they’re defined in layout XML (or added programmatically); the first will be lower, and the last will be on top. Here is an example where two Views are stacked and offset to better illustrate the point: Here is the actual layout XML … Read more
Finally it works for me. private VideoView videoView; videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoView); Uri video = Uri.parse(“http://www.servername.com/projects/projectname/videos/1361439400.mp4”); videoView.setVideoURI(video); videoView.setOnPreparedListener(new MediaPlayer.OnPreparedListener() { @Override public void onPrepared(MediaPlayer mp) { mp.setLooping(true); videoView.start(); } });
You can use this @Override public void onPause() { Log.d(TAG, “onPause called”); super.onPause(); stopPosition = videoView.getCurrentPosition(); //stopPosition is an int videoView.pause(); } @Override public void onResume() { super.onResume(); Log.d(TAG, “onResume called”); videoView.seekTo(stopPosition); videoView.start(); //Or use resume() if it doesn’t work. I’m not sure } original post
EDIT: (June 2016) This answer is very old (I think android 2.2/2.3) and probably is not as relevant as the other answers below! Look to them first unless you’re dev-ing on legacy Android 🙂 I was able to narrow down the problem to the onMeasure function in the VideoView class. By creating a child class … Read more
Try using a FrameLayout instead. I’m not sure why, but if I use a Linear or Relative in my code it won’t center, but FrameLayout does. Here is the XML that fit my video to the screen, preserving the ratio and centering it: <FrameLayout xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” android:layout_width=”fill_parent” android:layout_height=”fill_parent” android:background=”@drawable/bg”> <!– Video player –> <VideoView android:id=”@+id/surface_view” android:layout_width=”fill_parent” … Read more
use VideoView.setOnTouchListener(..) it works for VideoView
