Android VideoView Kotlin

The VideoView is a widget provided by the Android framework for playing videos. Below is a simple example of how you can use VideoView in your Android application.

Here is the tutorial for Java

There Are Some Common Attributes for VideoView :

Step 1:

First, make sure you have a video file in your res/raw directory. If not, you can create a raw directory under the res folder and add your video file there.

Step 2:

File open res/layout/activity_main.xml file −:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <VideoView
        android:id="@+id/videoView"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>

Step 3:

File open com.microappvalley.newtestproject/MainActivity.kt file −

package com.microappvalley.newtestproject

import android.annotation.SuppressLint
import android.net.Uri
import android.os.Bundle
import android.widget.CalendarView
import android.widget.MediaController
import android.widget.Toast
import android.widget.VideoView
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

    @SuppressLint("MissingInflatedId")
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        // Find the VideoView in the layout
        val videoView: VideoView = findViewById(R.id.videoView)

        // Set the path of the video file
        val videoPath = "android.resource://${packageName}/${R.raw.sample_video}"

        // Create a Uri object from the video path
        val uri: Uri = Uri.parse(videoPath)

        // Set up the MediaController to control playback
        val mediaController = MediaController(this)
        mediaController.setAnchorView(videoView)
        videoView.setMediaController(mediaController)

        // Set the Uri to the VideoView
        videoView.setVideoURI(uri)

        // Start playing the video
        videoView.start()

    }
}

Open Device Manager, run the emulator, and  then run the application. Next, check the working output and check the output  you declared in your code.
