<VideoView android:id="@+id/videoView" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
Uri uri = Uri.parse(URL); //Declare your url here. VideoView mVideoView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoview) mVideoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this)); mVideoView.setVideoURI(uri); mVideoView.requestFocus(); mVideoView.start();
Or
String LINK = "type_here_the_link"; VideoView mVideoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.videoview); MediaController mc = new MediaController(this); mc.setAnchorView(videoView); mc.setMediaPlayer(videoView); Uri video = Uri.parse(LINK); mVideoView.setMediaController(mc); mVideoView.setVideoURI(video); mVideoView.start();
