How to play Video from application cache in android

I want to play video file from android cache folder using the following code : 

String cacheDir = getApplicationContext().getCacheDir().getAbsolutePath();
File outFile = new File(cacheDir, "intro.mp4");
vvIntro.setVideoPath(cacheDir+"/intro");
vvIntro.start();

But I got error : 

07-05 20:14:21.896: E/MediaPlayer(1251): error (1, -2147483648)
07-05 20:14:21.928: I/Choreographer(1251): Skipped 79 frames!  The application may be doing too much work on its main thread.

you can set Uri : 

Uri uri = Uri.parse(getApplicationContext().getCacheDir()+"/video.mp4") ;
videoView.setVideoURI(uri);
videoView.start();

You can just use my simple library AndroidVideoCache. It allows stream and cache video simultaneously.

You create a File object pointing to your MP4 file, then totally ignore that File object and provide an invalid path to vvIntro. Instead, try:

File outFile = new File(getCacheDir(), "yourVideoName.mp4");
vvIntro.setVideoPath(outFile.getAbsolutePath());
vvIntro.start();

and see if that helps.
