Another MediaPlayer problem- Sound but no video

roguetreasure · by **roguetreasure** » Mon Feb 01, 2010 3:26 pm

I know this problem has been posted many times and I have tried several different examples but I cannot get any video to show. I hear sound but no video. I thought maybe I just had a incorrect video format so I downloaded a fiat commercial in 3gp format and still no joy. I am using the eclipse JEE with android sdk and my app targets the 1.5 sdk (3) without google api. Could someone please post a link to a video known to play in android or point out my problem with the code. I have tried all I could think of .. with/without prepare .. different layouts etc.

Here is my on create

        SurfaceView v = (SurfaceView) findViewById(R.id.surface_video); 
 
        SurfaceHolder holder = v.getHolder(); 
 
     // Set the transparency 
 
        getWindow().setFormat(PixelFormat.UNKNOWN); 
 
        // Set a size for the video screen 
 
        holder.addCallback(this); 
 
        holder.setFixedSize(400,300); 
 
        MediaPlayer mp = MediaPlayer.create(this, R.raw.fiat); 
 
        mp.setDisplay(holder);
