Android VideoView

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 Kotlin

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.java file −

Java:

package com.microappvalley.newtestproject;


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

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {


    @SuppressLint("MissingInflatedId")
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        // Find the VideoView in the layout
        VideoView videoView = findViewById(R.id.videoView);

        // Set the path of the video file
        String videoPath = "android.resource://" + getPackageName() + "/" + R.raw.sample_video;

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

        // Set up the MediaController to control playback
        MediaController mediaController = new 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.
