Video from Url in Videoview

I want to play a video from a url in a VideoView:

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    String path1="http://commonsware.com/misc/test2.3gp";
    Uri uri=Uri.parse(path1);

    VideoView video=(VideoView)findViewById(R.id.videoView1);
    video.setVideoURI(uri);
    video.start();
}

But I'm getting a NullPointerException when I try to run the app.

The logcat says that the problem is in: video.setVideoURI(uri);

Can someone help me please?

Thanks.

I don't see where you are defining a layout... I think you forgot:

setContentView(R.layout.main);

Which would cause any findViewById() to return null.
