Hi,

I am not sure, but you are not preparing your mediaplayer.. You should officially do this before you do mp.start();
If that's not it, you might want to check out this: (I've never tried it but I've put it in my favorites 'cus it looked good back then)

hiiiiiiiiiiii.............


the link u posted is for the old sdk M3 thats working wit that,and that code is not working with the M5,

if u use MediaPlayer.Create(parameter); no need to use prepare(); method....

I have got the same problem while trying to play a local Video
here is my code:


The problem is: I got the sound but not the image.

I thought that maybe the screen is not refreshing, that is why I used the handler.post method but it seems I was wrong

Try out this one. It worked for me.
I am able to play the 3gp file from the data folder.
To copy 3gp file to data folder, follow steps below
1. start the emulator, allow the emulator to load up.
2.Go to command prompt, rum command
push c:/video.3gp /data/video.3gp

I did what you say, it works...
I put it back my way, line by line, to see what was the problem in my code, now my code works too...

I don't understand, but it works, thanks

This line gives me error please tell me.
In eclipse IDE it says setDisplay requires a SurfaceHolder object which we get on calling getHolder() but on calling the getSurface it gives a Surface so eclipse gives error.
Now if i modify it to
mp.setDisplay(mPreview.getHolder());
Error is removed but i am not getting video displayed. It would be great of someone to get the project zipped and mailed to me at ashu89_shukla@yahoo.com.
I need to get this code working plzzzzzzz.

you must use the android1.5，try this "mp.setDisplay(mPreview.getHolder());"

hi bins1984 your code is not working don't know what the problem is.

hi binu i can play video file , i am loding my video file from asset folder

Hi,
I'm able to see the video view and the buttons but the video is not getting displayed. I think i am not placing the 3gp file correctly. I have just placed it in a folder called data. Is that correct? Please let me know.
I have used to code and as per Zerger I'm using 1.5.
Please let me know what mistake i'm doing
Thanks in advance
