VideoView path problem

I am using a VideoView to play videos.
it works smoothly.

with only one problem. i am able to provide path of video with this way-

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.abc.def/"+ R.raw.vid);
 
video.setVideoURI(uri);
 
video.start();
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

but this is not what i want.
i want it to take the path dynamically, so that i can tell it the path according to the user selection.

any suggestions??

I found the solution myself.

I just do this-

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

int resId = getResources().getIdentifier("com.abc.xyz:raw/"+videoname,null,null);
 
        Uri uri = Uri.parse("android.resource://com.abc.xyz/"+ resId);
Parsed in 0.030 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

then i continue with the same thing that i was doing.
in this way i was able to resolve the video name to an id, which videoview demands.
