How to play video file repeatly in VideoView?

Postby perrot » Tue Feb 09, 2010 5:51 am

The snippet code to play *.wmv video file:

VideoView vv = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoview_main);
Log.e("debug","set video path...");
vv.setVideoPath(path);

Log.e("debug","set request focus...");
vv.requestFocus();
Log.e("debug","show context menu...");
vv.showContextMenu();
Log.e("debug","start...");
vv.start();

But there is no function to set repeat.
Does somebody know about this?
Please give me a hint. Thank you

Hi azraeal,
Thank you for your help.
I have solved the problem. But you must seek to 0 time position before start again.
The snippet code like this:

  7.  
  8.                 public void onCompletion(MediaPlayer arg0) {
  9.  
  10.                      // File has ended !!!
